Selenium throwing TimeoutException with Build info: version: 'unknown', revision: 'unknown', time: 'unknown' then loading correctly the page with Burp

Question

I am using Selenium in a Burp plugin and I am using the latest version of Browsers and WebDrivers. The page I am trying to load has no issue if the Proxy is not set, but it freezes when I set it to be listened by Burp on localhost:8080. The issue is faced both in Chrome and in Firefox, so it can't be a Certificate problem since Chrome gets Certificate Authorities from the System, where the CA_cert is successfully installed. Burp is listening, as usual, on 127.0.0.1:8080, but if I run code like

try {
    webDriver.get("https://www.nytimes.com/");
} catch (InterruptException e) {
    print(e.getMessage(e.getClass().getCanonicalName() + "\nError message: " + e.getMessage()));
}

Shows the following error

Timeout loading page after 10000ms

Session ID: c8b392fe-b8d7-4781-8268-7e34a9272a35

The awkward thing is that after the timeout, set as 10 seconds, the page is loaded correctly and the browser stop here.

EDIT

After downgrading Burp to 2020.2.1 and Java 8, I am still getting those errors. In Firefox

...implies that the GeckoDriver was unable to initiate/spawn a new Browsing Context i.e. Firefox Browser session.

Your main issue is the incompatibility between the version of the binaries you are using as follows:

Your Selenium Client version is unknown, i.e. unrecognized.
Your JDK version is 13.0.2 which is not supported.

You can find a detailed discussion in Does Selenium v3.141 support Java 13?

Your GeckoDriver version is unknown to us.
Your Firefox version is 76.0.1.

So there is a clear mismatch between the JDK v13.0.2 , Selenium Client , GeckoDriver and the Firefox Browser v76.0.1.

Solution

Ensure that:

JDK is upgraded to current levels JDK 8u251.
Selenium is upgraded to current levels Version 3.141.59.
GeckoDriver is upgraded to GeckoDriver v0.26.0 level.
Clean your Project Workspace through your IDE and Rebuild your project with required dependencies only.
If your base Web Client version is too old, then uninstall it and install a recent GA and released version of Web Client.
Execute your Test as a non-root user.
Always invoke driver.quit() within tearDown(){} method to close & destroy the WebDriver and Web Client instances gracefully.

Hi, the Selenium version I am using is 3.141.59, and I am including in through Maven. Also, the Java version I have installed on my PC is 11.0.7, which is displayed both using the java -version command and javac -version. GeckoDriver is 0.24 version because the 0.25 and 0.26 suffers of a bug described here https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases involving Visual Studio redistributable However, the 0.24 should be compatible with Firefox 76.0.1. Also, Burp 2020.4 does not longer support Java 8. So, which Java version should I install? — Stefano, May 19 '20 at 10:46
@Stefano To garner optimum test results with Selenium you need to downgrade to JDK 8. — undetected Selenium, May 19 '20 at 11:16
I downgraded Burp to support Java 8 and installed JDK 8u251, I updated the answer because I am still getting the error. — Stefano, May 19 '20 at 12:11
@Stefano Can you update the question with the recent error stacktrace please? — undetected Selenium, May 19 '20 at 12:36
