webdriver-installer downloads the latest geckodriver, but as of today, that is 0.31.0, which is incompatible with the snap package of Firefox.

Starting with Ubuntu 21.10 (or 22.04, if you're an LTS user), the snap package is the only package for Firefox. So users of those Ubuntu versions cannot use webdriver-installer for Firefox at the moment.

geckodriver 0.32.0 will resolve this issue, and the release is expected some time in October 2022. When that is released, webdriver-installer will automatically start pulling geckodriver 0.32.0, and snap packages of Firefox should just work. See mozilla/geckodriver#2010 for details.

mozilla/geckodriver#2010 is resolved, and 0.32.0 is out, but this issue is still present.

I filed mozilla/geckodriver#2055 to ask for further changes to geckodriver to make this work.
