mouseMove not working in firefox; giving http method not allowed

mouseMove is not working in firefox with the latest versions of Firefox, geckodriver, and protractor. Same code works fine for chrome 77.

I have the following environment:

Node: v10.16.3

Protractor: 5.4.2

Geckodriver: v0.25.0

firefox: 69.0.1 (64-bit)

browser.actions().mouseMove(element(by.xpath('//app-admin-panel/div/div/div/div[2]/table/tbody/tr/td[1]'))).perform();

This code snippet should hover over the specified element, but it throws the following error:

solved by updating direct connect value to false in protractor config
in case of chrome set it to true for local testing

directConnect: false

It's a known issue (not sure if they fixed it yet) for FF. I suggest you to use this https://www.npmjs.com/package/protractor-firefox-support
