Could you please attach a trace-level log from geckodriver? Read more about reporting actionable bugs in our contribution guidelines.

These are not trace logs. Please check a possible geckodriver.log file that Selenium should have been created.

The logs in the last comment show Firefox 108 and not 105 as originally pointed out. Can you please make sure that the combination of Firefox 108 and geckodriver 0.32.0 also fails?

[kj101010]

Yes combination of Firefox 108 and geckodriver 0.32.0 also failing and not getting any logs after execution. Only getting "Could not start a new session. Possible causes are invalid address of the remote server or browser start-up failure" exception.

[whimboo]

Could your issue be related to https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/issues/11231?

[nen4d]

I'm getting the same error, I'm using 4.6.0 Selenium, 107.0 Firefox version and 0.32.0 geckodriver

[kj101010]

It's not working with older version of selenium manager too

[whimboo]

I tried with the Python bindings and it works all well for me. So it might be some issue with the Java bindings? I would suggest to file an issue against Selenium.

[kj101010]

I am getting issue with older versions of webdriver manager with latest 0.32.0 ver geckodriver. So is it a selenium issue?

[whimboo]

Well, could you try running your Selenium test without using webdriver manager? That would be the first step to figure out if it's related to this new tool.

[kj101010]

Tried without using webdriver manager also same issue I am getting. Also I am using virtual machine to execute these scripts so is it causing due to vm?

[whimboo]

Do you have a chance to test it manually outside of Selenium? The following page has some examples by using curl as client:

https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/testing/geckodriver/Usage.html#standalone

Make sure to start geckodriver with -vv to get the full trace log output.

[asantossa]

I'm also getting the same error. I'm using selenium 4.1.2 , 107.0 Firefox version and 0.32.0 geckodriver. Setting up the 0.31.0 geckodriver, it works

[whimboo]

@asantossa which platform are you on? Could you also check my last comment from above and test if you can create a session with geckodriver manually?

[whimboo]

No further feedback from reporters. I'm going to close this issue for now given that it is not actionable for us. I'm happy to reopen if the requested information can be provided.

[sanj29]

@whimboo I am also getting the same issue with Selenium 4.6 and FF 108, below is the stack trace:
