Using Firefox does not work with the Java-Client, Chrome works well

Using a java client I experienced an error if I was using the firefox capability. Chrome worked well though.

In the telegram support chat I found out that my selenium client version was too old for using firefox 55-56 (client: 3.0.1). Updating to the latest client version resolved my error.

Maybe someone from Aerokube could get into more detail why it failed with the old client.

Firefox with versions more than 55 requires geckodriver older than 0.18. On page https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases you can find complete changelog with notes about compatibility.

Even version 0.15.0 has notice:

IMPORTANT: If you use geckodriver with Selenium, you must upgrade to Selenium 3.3 since this release aligns HTTP responses with the WebDriver standard.

Usually, it's safe to update client part in advance, as it works well with previous browser/driver versions too.
