same issue, any luck fixing it?

Have you installed the browser you use?
Chrome or Firefox?

[tommyct614]

Did you manage to fix this? Facing the same issue. Firefox and geckodriver are present. Running on Ubuntu on a Digital Ocean droplet.

I had the same problem with Chrome on Ubuntu 22.04. The standard Firefox installation didn't work either, but I got FF to work after installing as .deb (see here)

@MoodPatterns can you share what's the version of Chrome that you were using?
