Error from Selenium: UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: ECONNREFUSED connect ECONNREFUSED

Question

I am brand new to node.js and Selenium so please bear with me if I don't give all the details needed right away.

This is my very simple test which I want to run in FF (I found a lot of questions here like this but they refer to Chrome):

const webdriver = require('selenium-webdriver');

const builder = new webdriver.Builder();
builder.forBrowser('firefox');
const driver = builder.build();

driver.get('https://google.com');

driver.quit();

This is the error I keep getting:

(node:3534) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: ECONNREFUSED connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:62412 at ClientRequest.

In the future, promise rejections that are not handled will terminate the Node.js process with a non-zero exit code.

Selenium version: 5.6.0

Had the same issue. Installing of previous version of selenium-webdriver help for me.
