same issue, any luck fixing it?

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

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?
