Hello everyone,

I have this error when I run my Tests :

WebDriverException: Message:

Firstly I checked my versions browsers and the compatibility with my webdrivers, but it’s good regarding recommandations :  
Firefox version : 95.0.2 (64 bits)  
I tried with webdrivermanager firedox, it returns :  
Error, unable to read current browser version

I don’t understand…

If someone can help me please…

PS : I have Robot Framework 4.1.3 (Python 3.7.9 on win32), work with pycharm

My bad, I forgot the most important part, it’s this message :

WebDriverException: Message: \< !-- IE friendly error message walkround.  
if error message from server is less than  
512 bytes IE v5+ will use its own error  
message instead of the one returned by  
server. →

The webserver reported that an error occurred while trying to access the website. Please return to the previous page.
