Issue with Geckodriver and Firefox Compatibility on Windows 11

Dear Firefox Support Team,

I am writing to seek assistance with a compatibility issue I'm experiencing while attempting to run Python scripts that interact with Firefox via Geckodriver.

Here are the details of my setup:

Operating System: Windows 11 (64-bit) Firefox Version: 131.0.3 (64-bit) Geckodriver Version: geckodriver-v0.35.0-win-aarch64 When I attempt to initialize Geckodriver in my Python script, it fails to launch Firefox, giving the following error message:

"Machine Type Mismatch: The image file Z:\My Drive\python\python Assets\geckodriver-v0.35.0-win-aarch64\geckodriver.exe is valid, but is for a machine type other than the current machine."

I downloaded the latest version of Geckodriver (v0.35.0) for Windows (aarch64) assuming compatibility with my setup. However, it seems there might be a mismatch between the architecture of my machine and the Geckodriver executable. I would appreciate any guidance on resolving this issue or recommendations on an appropriate Geckodriver version that would be compatible with my 64-bit Windows 11 system.

Thank you very much for your help.

Best regards,
