Comment (by desrosj):

 This is confirmed to be happening as a result of the `ubuntu-24` upgrade.

 It seems that some level of updating Puppeteer/Qunit will fix the issue in
 the 6.0 branch. However, this would require a handful of other
 compatibility backports for the older branches as well. Those are also
 hamstrung by the fact that these older branches run Node.js 14.x.

 Either update route is not ideal.

 @swissspidy shared that he recently fixed this with a
 [https://github.com/GoogleForCreators/web-stories-
 wp/blob/49308fd38a362578bae06a6b4f671e2b0c70a5d5/.github/workflows/tests-
 e2e.yml#L196-L199 GitHub Actions step]. I've spot tested that in a few
 branches, and it fixes the tests for the 4.1, 5.4, and 6.0 branches. The
 attached PR to `trunk` adds an input to the workflow and only runs that
 new step if `true` is passed.
