Thanks for the nice explanation. I was wondering if you or any other reader has ever tried running this on a windowsservercore container on Docker for Windows?
On Ubuntu I got it working the way you described. For certain reasons I am now trying to run Firefox on windowsservercore but without succes.

as of my understanding windows server core it not capable of running such GUI applications by default. I researched that and came across this article on medium which has some information on how to add GUI capabilities to windows server core.
But I think more of interest for you would be this youtube video where they try Chrome, Firefox and Opera on Windows Server Core. (v.1709)
Result of video:
Google Chrome: Working
Opera: Working
Mozilla Firefox: Not working
