No connection could be made

[Unknow0059]

I'm using the latest version of SFC and providing the two positional arguments fails to save a page, with an error.

I don't know what this error message means, but here:

error sending request for url (http://localhost:9369/json/new?about:blank): client error (Connect): tcp connect error: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. (os error 10061): No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. (os error 10061) [2025-01-22T09:19:12.938Z] URL: myurlgoeshere

I've tried various URLs, doesn't matter.
I've tried different using different chromes in --browser-executable-path, doesn't matter.

It looks like the browser crashed, what do you see if you use the --browser-debug option? (you need to press the play button in the DevTools after the browser is opened)

I encountered the same problem when I upgraded from version v2.0.38. I checked the latest version v2.0.73 and the same error.
I don't use an external browser. With the debug option --browser-debug I don't see any additional information or window.
I checked the bisect of previous versions and found out that version v2.0.41 works, but version v2.0.43 doesn't work anymore. I hope this helps to clarify the error.
Logs from v2.0.43:

@mrfuggy Are you using a firewall? The error message ("the target machine actively refused it. (os error 10061)") suggests a firewall is blocking the connection.

It looks like the browser crashed, what do you see if you use the --browser-debug option? (you need to press the play button in the DevTools after the browser is opened)

with the command

"E:\Portable\SingleFile CLI webpage downloader\single-file.exe" ^
www.foofoo.com ^
--output-directory "bar\bar\bar\webpages\" ^
--browser-executable-path "foo\foo\foo\chrome.exe" ^
--browser-debug ^
--console-messages-file SingleFileConsoleLog.txt ^
--debug-messages-file SingleFileDebugLog.txt ^
--errors-file SingleFileErrorsLog.txt

I'm not shown any additional information;
None of those three declared files are written to anywhere;
and the browser doesn't open.

Yes, I have tried from an admin command prompt.
