Updating geckodriver to v0.24.0 (https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases/tag/v0.24.0)

This now works on my mac and passes on the build server.

However, the Linux host does not work.

• Is geckodriver anywhere else on the host?
  • None found
• What version of Firefox is being used?
  • Mozilla Firefox 67.0
• Is the geckodriver updated on the official install?
  • The newest of the app was indeed installed. The binaries look new too.
• Are any logs present?
  • Yes: "WebDriverException: Message: invalid argument: can't kill an exited process"
• Is this version of Geckodriver and Firefox compatible?
  • yes: https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/testing/geckodriver/Support.html
  • But needs Selenium 3.11; I'm using 3.4.1 and thus should be ok
• Is the issue because I am running Firefox as root?

• Does this work if I change the owner to root?
  • https://github.com/FortyNorthSecurity/EyeWitness/issues/360
  • No
• Is the problem perms on the geckodriver log?
  • No
• What could be the difference between the CI environment and the Splunk install?
  • User (root versus non-root)
