I am attempting to run my unit tests in both chrome and firefox. Chrome runs all the test cases perfectly but I was unable to get firefox to run. To solve this problem I set directConnect to false as outlined here, https://github.com/angular/protractor/issues/4240
Firefox now runs but because directConnect is false it runs very slowly and fails most unit tests. In addition, chrome will no longer run.
When directConnect is set to true firefox gives me, Unable to parse new session response: ..... WebDriverError: Unable to parse new session response: .......
I'm using, firefox 62.0.3 and protractor 5.4.0 with selenium standalone server
