URIError: URI malformed in Cypress 13.6.1

[mschile]

We're also seeing this after upgrading to Cypress 13.6.1 from 13.6.0. We're running in a container on the docker image cypress/base:18.16.0. In a suite of about 400 tests that are running parallel on 12 of these containers about 1/3 of the containers will crash with the following error message. Downgrading from 13.6.1 to 13.6.0 fixed the issue.

(Cypress:1324): dconf-CRITICAL **: 16:14:59.417: unable to create directory '/home/node/.cache/dconf': Permission denied.  dconf will not work properly.

@marshallsanders, would you be able to run with the following DEBUG log turned on (I'd like to know which URL is causing the URI malformed error):

DEBUG=cypress:server:server-base
