feat: support firefox 135 and above with xz compression

[MikeMcC399]

• closes Support Firefox 135.0 and above #1294

Issue

Firefox 135.0 announced that "Linux binaries are now provided in XZ format, replacing the previous BZ2 format, offering faster unpacking and smaller file sizes."

The change is not compatible with the current factory/installScripts/firefox/default.sh which assumes a bz2 extension for the Firefox download file. Attempting to configure Firefox 135.0 therefore fails.

Change

For Firefox 134 and below use bz2
For Firefox 135 and above use xz

change to tar -xaf for automatic recognition of compression type.

Verification

cd factory
docker compose build factory
export FIREFOX_VERSION='134.0'
docker compose build firefox
export FIREFOX_VERSION='135.0'
docker compose build firefox

Thank you @MikeMcC399 ! I am working on the Cypress 14.0.2 release today and am going to merge this in and make Firefox 135 the default in the factory with the 14.0.2 version bump in the factory

Very good! I only noticed after I submitted this PR that Cypress 14.0.2 is pending, so it looks like it came just in time for you 🙂 !
