Fails to connect to Chrome on first run after clearing Cypress app data

[MikeMcC399]

• follows on from Crash on first run after clearing Cypress app data #32132

Current behavior

If Cypress is started with npx cypress open --e2e --browser chrome and Cypress app data has been cleared according to Troubleshooting > Clear App Data, then Cypress fails to connect to Chrome.

A second attempt (without clearing app data) succeeds.

Desired behavior

Cypress should work on the first attempt after app data has been cleared.

Test code to reproduce

git clone --branch 34868-single-spec-cy-16 https://github.com/MikeMcC399/cypress-test-tiny
cd cypress-test-tiny
npm ci
rm -rf ~/.config/Cypress/cy/*
npx cypress open --e2e --browser chrome

Select "Continue"
