bad path for selenium webdrivers in weekly builds

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug

Weekly builds look for selenium webdrivers in $HOME/.ZAP/webdriver/linux/64/chromedriver and $HOME/.ZAP/webdriver/linux/64/geckodriver but those paths are created and used by stable/release builds which may not be installed on the system.

Weekly builds should look in $HOME/.ZAP_D. There may be other such instances.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

  1. remove $HOME/.ZAP directory
  2. install and run weekly build (which uses $HOME/.ZAP_D
  3. use quick launch to launch either browser (chrome/firefox)

Actual: error that selected browser is unavailable; console errors show bad path as indicated

Expected behavior

launch browser

With directory issue are you referring to use of .ZAP when running weekly?

which firefox? In any case the problem you are seeing is the same that happens with snap, unable to create the profile in the temporary directory.
