@AparnaShyam Thanks for logging the issue. This issue is related to firefox and selenium compatibility. In the latest selenium version, the default firefox driver support has been removed. To run the tests on firefox, we need to use Marionette (Gecko) driver to launch Firefox which is still not stable enough(gives element not found and other erros).

For now, you can try running the tests using Chrome or older version of Firefox.
