[🐛 Bug]: AttributeError: 'service' object has no attribute '_path'

[hsn3043]

What happened?

I have a python project running natively and Selenium running on a docker container (latest version [selenium/standalone-firefox:4.18.1-20240224]).
When I have configured version 4.8.0 <= the project does connect to the docker container and there are no issues with my crawlers, but for versions 4.9.0 >= they fail with error AttributeError: 'FirefoxRemoteService' object has no attribute '_path'.

These are the configurations:
selenium-firefox:
driver_executable_path:
driver_arguments: ['-headless']
selenium_download_dir:
local_download_dir:
driver_preferences:

this does work on 4.8.0, but not on 4.9.0.

I did check the changelog but I did not see anything that could help. Trying to update to latest version, but noticed this.

How can we reproduce the issue?

selenium-firefox:
  driver_executable_path:
  driver_arguments: ['-headless']
   selenium_download_dir: 
  local_download_dir: 
  driver_preferences:
