[🐛 Bug]: Firefox ZIP timestamps, part 2

[martin-djukanovic]

What happened?

A virtual duplicate of #14143, but it's a different file this time. The offending line is 134 in py/selenium/webdriver/firefox/webdriver.py

It should be changed from
with zipfile.ZipFile(fp, "w", zipfile.ZIP_DEFLATED) as zipped:
to
with zipfile.ZipFile(fp, "w", zipfile.ZIP_DEFLATED, strict_timestamps=False) as zipped:

How can we reproduce the issue?

1) Download a Firefox addon
2) Unzip the .xpi file to a directory
3) Pass the directory path to driver.install_addon()

Relevant log output
