webdriverio: [🐛 Bug]: Unable to run tests on Firefox using Selenium Standalone Service

Have you read the Contributing Guidelines on issues?

WebdriverIO Version

7.19.6

Node.js Version

17.4.0

Mode

WDIO Testrunner

Which capabilities are you using?

{
   browserName: 'firefox',
}

What happened?

When setting up new project using standalone service and setting up firefox as the browser, it’s not running the tests. Keeps throwing the following error -

webdriver: Request timed out! Consider increasing the "connectionRetryTimeout" option

Dependencies:

    "devDependencies": {
        "@wdio/cli": "^7.19.6",
        "@wdio/local-runner": "^7.19.5",
        "@wdio/mocha-framework": "^7.19.5",
        "@wdio/selenium-standalone-service": "^7.19.5",
        "@wdio/spec-reporter": "^7.19.5"
    },

What is your expected behavior?

Should be able to run tests on Firefox

How to reproduce the bug.

Setup a new project using the wdio cli and in service select selenium-standalone-service and update the capabilities to add browserName as firefox. Then, try running the project with npx wdio

{
   browserName: 'firefox',
}

Running since Friday into the same issue with Chrome. (Version 101). Error Log: webdriver: Request failed with status undefined due to TimeoutError: Timeout awaiting 'request' for 90000ms when running "http://localhost:4444/wd/hub/session" with method "POST" and args "{"capabilities":{"alwaysMatch":{"browserName":"chrome","goog:chromeOptions":{}},"firstMatch":[{}]},"desiredCapabilities":{"browserName":"chrome","goog:chromeOptions":{}}}"

Seeing a similar issue trying local muti-remote with selenium standalone and firefox:

ERROR webdriver: WebDriver Error: Could not start a new session. Error while creating session with the driver service. Stopping driver service: Could not start a new session. Response code 400. Message: Argument --remote-debugging-port can't be set via capabilities
Build info: version: '4.0.0', revision: '3a21814679'

the error appears to be coming from webdriver and the driver version for geckodriver?
