● Perfect! I've added a clear note about the --executable-path limitation. The documentation now clearly states that this option only works with Chromium-family browsers. Let me create a commit for this change.

● Bash(git add README.md && git status)

● Now let me create a pull request to the upstream repository:

      browsers" --body "## Summary…)
  ⎿  https://github.com/microsoft/playwright-mcp/pull/1258

● Perfect! I've successfully created pull request #1258 to document that --executable-path only works with Chromium-family browsers.

  Summary

  I've added clear documentation to the README.md that explains the limitation of the --executable-path option. The change includes:

  - Location: Added a note right after the Configuration options section (line 407 in README.md)
  - Content: Clearly states that --executable-path only works with Chromium-family browsers (Chromium, Chrome, Edge), and that Firefox and WebKit will use Playwright's bundled versions regardless

  The pull request is now available at: https://github.com/microsoft/playwright-mcp/pull/1258

  This addresses issue #605 where users were confused when trying to use --executable-path with Firefox, which is not supported by Playwright's architecture.
