Firefox 94 when ran from a crontab claims "is already running, but is not responding."

I understand that there are or may be similar questions on here, but this one does not pertain to firejail nor does Firefox have any delays when starting.

OS Info:

Xubuntu 20.04
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS"
NAME="Ubuntu"
VERSION="20.04.3 LTS (Focal Fossa)"

I run a script from a crontab that will launch my ADP login page and clock me in and out at specific times of the day. This used to work flawlessly until Firefox 94 was released. Now, I understand that for remote Mozilla decided to no longer go with X11 but D-Bus instead. For the life of me, I cannot figure out what is meant by using D-Bus instead of X11, other than they claim that it is simpler to use. I am assuming that this may be due to Wayland which I do not use.

If I run the following script from a command line terminal at the specific times it works perfect, but if I run the script from the crontab I get the following message:

The script (still a work in progress):

If anyone has any ideas that I could make Firefox work with D-Bus like it was with X11 before version 94 I would greatly appreciate it!
