[🐛 Bug]: Error creating bean with name 'firefoxDriver' defined in class path resource

[H-Lo]

What happened?

Upgraded from 4.19.1 to 4.20.0 and now I'm getting an exception about FireFox web driver.
Previously everything was working fine.
I can see it's about a proxy, but I don't know what to do with it.

Firefox web driver

@WebdriverScopeBean
@ConditionalOnProperty(name = "browser", havingValue = "firefox")
@Primary
public WebDriver firefoxDriver() {
	final FirefoxOptions firefoxOptions = new FirefoxOptions();
	final Proxy proxy = new Proxy();
	proxy.setAutodetect(false);
	proxy.setNoProxy("no_proxy-var");
	firefoxOptions.setCapability("proxy", proxy);
	return new FirefoxDriver(firefoxOptions);
}

How can we reproduce the issue?

Upgrade from 4.19.0 to 4.20.0 and try to run any unit test with given FireFox web driver configuration.

Relevant log output

@kora-rider - Can you create a sample project that can be used to reproduce the problem and share it here? That will make it easier for us to figure out what is going wrong.

@krmahadevan I tried some configuration and found out that I need to remove proxy settings. I had these settings for the Firefox driver:
Proxy ffProxy = new Proxy(); ffProxy.setProxyType(Proxy.ProxyType.AUTODETECT); ffOptions.setProxy(ffProxy);

So when I removed these proxy settings then it worked well.

+1 Please provide a complete reproducible test script/ sample project. I understand that something has worked in the interim but that is not ideal. Ideally, users should be able to set the proxy capability using the Proxy classes exposed by Selenium.
