The latest version of Firefox (ver 64.0) has the issue of not supporting MoveToElement action. The same error "MoveTo did not match a known command" recurs.

As per the WebDriver specification there is no such command defined. See https://w3c.github.io/webdriver/.

The test is executed on Browserstack. Works fine on Edge & Chrome.

This works fine because you may not run the driver executable in webdriver mode, eg. for chromedriver you specifically have to enable it via the w3c flag.

Geckodriver by default ONLY supports the Webdriver standard.

I am using Latest geckodriver-v0.12.0-win64, Firefox Nightly and Selenium 3.0.1.0.

Those are not the latest versions. geckodriver is at version 0.23, and for Firefox Nightly you need at least Selenium 3.11. The given configuration shouldn't work at all.

Thanks for your comments and help Henrik. I updated the selenium version to the latest including the versions of gecko and Maven dependencies and now the scenarios are all working fine.
