Description

Hi friends,

I am trying to use `webdrivermanager` to install web driver for Firefox. However, it is not working for my computer. For reference, my computer is running on macOS v.12.0.1

```
> webdrivermanager firefox
Downloading WebDriver for browser: "firefox"
Error, unable to read current browser version
Failed to parse compatible version: Error, unable to read current browser version
Error, unable to determine correct filename for 64bit mac
.
.
.
RuntimeError: Error, unable to determine correct filename for 64bit mac
```

Research direction

Start by reproducing `webdrivermanager firefox` on macOS 12 with a 64-bit installation, then trace how the current Firefox version and compatible driver filename are determined. Done means the command identifies a compatible filename and installs the Firefox WebDriver without the reported RuntimeError.
