WebDriverException: Failed to decode response from marionette

Question

I am trying to run headless Firefox on AWS Codebuild linux. I am using selenium 3.6, gecko-driver 0.21.0, Firefox version 61.0.2. When I run the tests locally everything works fine, when I run it on Codebuild I get an error. The error on line 126 is when I am trying to click on an element. My code:

public static WebDriver getFirefoxHeadless(Map map) throws IOException {
        System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver","/root/firefox_driver/geckodriver");

        DesiredCapabilities capabilities = 
        DesiredCapabilities.firefox();

        FirefoxOptions options = new FirefoxOptions();
        options.setHeadless(true);

        GeckoDriverService service;
        GeckoDriverService.Builder builder = new 
        GeckoDriverService.Builder();
        service = builder.usingAnyFreePort()
                .withEnvironment(map)
                .build();

        service.start();

        options.merge(capabilities);

        return new FirefoxDriver(service, options);
    }

@BeforeTest
    public void setUp() throws IOException, InterruptedException {
        driver = Helpers.getFirefoxHeadless(MozLog.getMozLogMap());
        driver.manage().window().setSize(new Dimension(1920, 1080));

        driver.get(getUrl());
        Thread.sleep(4000);
    }

    @Test
    public void clickoutTestFirefox() throws IOException, InterruptedException, SQLException {
        driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(".popup-close-button-slim")).click(); 

I get the following error on Codebuild run:
