hi, thanks for raising it. I'm unable to reproduce this - could you let me know how you installed geckodriver and what OS you're running?

perhaps this ? https://github.com/RedSiege/EyeWitness/issues/604#issuecomment-1472761723

Sure, my "history" part below, basically I sneeked your docker config: wget https://api.github.com/repos/mozilla/geckodriver/releases/latest tar -xvzf geckodriver-v0.33.0-linux32.tar.gz mv geckodriver /usr/local/bin

As this was just not the solution, I added: apt install firefox

But still the same issue. I'm running on Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS.

Thx so much for your help.

Just fixed it myself. ;-)

• sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/ppa -y
• sudo apt update
• sudo apt install firefox

and now it works smoothly. ;-)

Thx for helping.
