@bonigarcia do you know if SM checks this? |
Indeed, Firefox is not distributed for ARM Linux. On the other hand, Selenium Manager for Linux is only compiled and distributed for x64. Maybe Selenium Manager should fail in this scenario, but I never tested it. |
True. ARM Linux is still "rare," so we do not have the tools to test it yet. I will leave this open and see if someone wants to help add this validation. Right now, this is a low priority. |

I did some more research, and Mozilla is working on new distributions for Arm Linux. I didn't realize that Selenium Manager is only compiled for x64, I guess it was running in the emulation mode in my tests. |
What happened?
Firefox is available for Linux ARM (mac, OCI/ampere, ARM/gravitron etc)
However, Selenium Manager downloads the x86_64 version leading to failures
