Isn't this a breaking change? WDIO v9 packages require Node >=18.20.0, while Geckodriver v6 requires Node >=20.0.0.

@christian-bromann, @eglitise is right — this is indeed a breaking change. I confirmed that geckodriver v6 requires Node >=20.0.0, which conflicts with WDIO v9's support for Node 18.

However, the issue this PR fixes is also legitimate. How would you like to proceed? Should I revert this change for now, or is there a plan to align the Node versions?

Given that Node.js v18 is deprecated a long time, I am ok keeping everything as is. We still have to make a major release removing support for Node.js v18. We may get to that before Christmas.
