If achieve to make this work should pay attention that no other program can take the control of the web-browser for instance.

Unable as root to chmod or chown to change:

ls -lh /sdcard/geckodriver

-rw-rw---- 1 u0_a156 media_rw 5.8M 2025-02-24 18:27 /sdcard/geckodriver

so let us continue as root.

[Benjamin-Loison]

/sdcard/geckodriver

/system/bin/sh: /sdcard/geckodriver: can't execute: Permission denied

as root too, I suspect that /sdcard/ does not support permissions.

Python script:

#!/usr/bin/python3

from selenium import webdriver

capabilities = {
 'firefoxOptions': {
   'androidPackage': 'org.mozilla.firefox',
                   }
                }
driver = webdriver.Remote('http://localhost:4444', capabilities) # Specify your port number value
driver.get('https://lemnoslife.com')

Output:
