## Title

    Proposed fix: [geckodriver + Firefox 138+] Chrome-context/browser-UI automation fails unless geckodriver runs with --allow-system-access; '--remote-allow-system-access' in moz:firefoxOptions args is r

## Body

    Recommended action: Start geckodriver with --allow-system-access (e.g. Service(service_args=['--allow-system-access']) in Selenium) and remove the Firefox flag/env var from capabilities; only do this for trusted clients (it grants full system access).
    
    Option: Start geckodriver with --allow-system-access (e.g. Service(service_args=['--allow-system-access']) in Selenium) and remove the Firefox flag/env var from capabilities; only do this for trusted clients (it grants full system access). [evidence: official_recommended_action]
    Applies when: Selenium/WebDriver tests that switch to the Firefox chrome context (driver.context('chrome'), moz/context endpoint, browser UI testing)
    Steps:
    1. Remove --remote-allow-system-access / MOZ_REMOTE_ALLOW_SYSTEM_ACCESS from moz:firefoxOptions.
    2. Pass --allow-system-access to geckodriver via the driver service args.
    3. Upgrade geckodriver to a release that supports the flag (introduced 0.36.0).
    Expected: The error no longer appears.
