Warnings when using Firefox and IE (Python)

[JohnA2]

💥 Regression Report

I noticed that if I run tests using Chrome, there are zero warnings, but with Firefox or IE, Selenium itself produces some deprecation warnings. I know it's only warnings, but the problem is each tests produces 1 or 2 of them. If there are a lot of tests, it takes some time to go over all warnings to check if they are real warnings that should be fixed or they are just these, caused by the Selenium code itself. Selenium 3 didn't have this problem.

Last working Selenium version

Worked up to version: 3.141.0

Stopped working in version: 4.x

To Reproduce

• Install pytest using pip install pytest.
• Save the following code to test_warnings.py.

from selenium.webdriver import Chrome, Firefox, Ie

def test_warnings():
    driver = <insert Chrome or Firefox or Ie here>()
    driver.get('http://example.com')
    driver.quit()

• Execute pytest to run the test case.

Expected behavior

No warnings.

Actual behavior

No warnings with Chrome only. Warnings with Firefox and IE.

@AutomatedTester I've tested your commit. 1 Firefox and 1 IE warnings were fixed, but the second IE warning still remains:

...\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\ie\webdriver.py:120: DeprecationWarning: keep_alive has been deprecated. We will be using True as the default value as we start removing it.
RemoteWebDriver.init(
