Situation

[email protected] notes

Cypress now consumes geckodriver to help automate the Firefox browser instead of marionette-client. Addresses #30217.

The mozilla/geckodriver is required to test Firefox. It is not part of the Firefox distribution, nor is it included in Cypress. If the driver is unavailable, then testing against Firefox fails.

This is not mentioned in References > Launching Browsers > Firefox Browsers.

Change

In References > Launching Browsers > Firefox Browsers add a new section "Mozilla geckodriver".
