this seems to be a valid work-around

pip install -U open-webui firecrawl

pip install -U open-webui firecrawl

On my setup in a python 3.11 venv created via uv I fixed it by installing firecrawl-py first. This is a pretty big issue as it's also breaking existing installs when updating via uv/pip.

0.6.36 is already on the way it seems. Anyways, easy fix for those who face the issue at least
