Check available versions at …' — Firefox newer/older than geckodriver release metadata ## Body Cause (Documented platform behavior): Selenium Manager maps Firefox major versions to compatible geckodriver releases from metadata; an empty filtered list yields this error; on errors it may fall back to a driver in the cache. Fix status: documented_behavior Limitations: - Derived from Selenium main-branch source at one commit and Chromium main chrome_launcher.cc (fetched 2026-09-27); not reproduced. Other error fragments: - There was an error managing {} ({}); using driver found in the cache Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/70ec0d05c0e5b90fdb79f4de75abaa2e16bc9f32/rust/src/firefox.rs (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Filters geckodriver versions for the browser major version and errors 'Not valid {} version found for {} {}. Check available versions at {}' when empty. - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/70ec0d05c0e5b90fdb79f4de75abaa2e16bc9f32/rust/src/main.rs (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): On manager errors it logs 'There was an error managing {} ({}); using driver found in the cache' when a cached driver exists.
