Using Android 11 and later geckodriver fails to setup the profile for Firefox and as such bails out early without allowing to run any tests. Here the log file as produced by geckodriver:

Maybe we could set the requestLegacyExternalStorage to true for now in the manifest file to keep it working as for Android 10.
I can actually see this problem with a Pixel 6.

Actually I can workaround this problem by using --android-storage=app but then geckodriver fails to start the test_runner package. Interesting is that app doesn't seem to work for others.

While this is a geckodriver issue and not resolved, I just wanted to add for future readers were also able to use the fix of using --android-storage=app to our performance testing code(done in bug 1857623) and this issue is no longer occurring in CI for us on the Pixel 6 devices.
