Using latest version of WebdriverManager: 5.9.2

[bonigarcia]

I have just tried WebDriverManager 5.9.2 to manage geckodriver and it seems to work nicely:

WARNING: CDP support for Firefox is deprecated and will be removed in future versions. Please switch to WebDriver BiDi.

It seems your resolution cache is corrupted for some reason: Exception reading resolution cache as a properties file. So. I recommend you to clean your cache once, i.e. delete the file <HOME>\.cache\selenium\resolution.properties, or run the following:

WebDriverManager.firefoxdriver().clearResolutionCache().setup();

[alexsabau86]

@bonigarcia The tests are running in a docker container triggered from a jenkins pipeline, so it's getting built from scratch each time. I've added the clearResolutionCache line and got kinda the same error. Note that this is only happening when trying to run on firefox. On Chrome there is no such issue.
