Upgrading WebDriver Support for Firefox (GeckoDriver)

To upgrade WebDriver’s support for Firefox, update GeckoDriver as follows:

1. Go to the GeckoDriver downloads page at https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases.
2. Download the GeckoDriver for your architecture:
   1. For Windows 64-bit and 32-bit: geckodriver-<VERSION>-win64.zip
   2. For Mac 64-bit: geckodriver-<VERSION>-macos.tar.gz
   3. For Linux 64-bit: geckodriver-<VERSION>-linux64.tar.gz
3. Extract the geckodriver executable from this .zip.
4. In the SOAest installation directory, run the update.bat script (for Windows) or update script (for Linux and Mac) with the –patch argument and the path to the geckodriver executable file. Running this script will replace the version in the installation with the file referenced by the patch argument. It will also back up the replaced file in the installation by appending a .bak extension to the file.
