Gecko Drwxr-xr-x May 2026

ls -ld /usr/lib/geckodriver/gecko You might see drwxr-xr-x permissions on a directory named “gecko” that holds platform-specific binaries or resources. Modern Linux distributions (Ubuntu, Fedora) often package Firefox as a Snap or Flatpak. Inside their restricted filesystems, you can encounter:

org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: Unable to read gecko directory permissions gecko drwxr-xr-x

ls -ld ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/startupCache/gecko Output: gecko drwxr-xr-x
