Using Selenium Grid and Java, Firefox and Chrome run smoothly on Mac, but Safari breaks at bottom of the page - won't scroll

I've been trying to find a solution to this specific problem online all day. Let me provide as much information as I can.
I am using selenium grid 3, with windows server as the hub and my macbook as the node
Everything works as it should on the mac in chrome and firefox.
I took care of the setup in safari as expected (developer, allow automations, and then ran that safaridriver command on /usr/local/bin safaridriver (whatever that was))
When I set the browser to safari, it opens up as it should. The hub and node are properly configured to communicate.
My macbook is connected by HDMI to an HP 24 inch monitor.
When the the grid opens safari in the HP monitor, after it applies the driver.manage().window().maximize(), it shows 8 elements on the screen. Automation fails after that 8th element - It will not scroll past it at all.
When the grid opens safari in the macbook screen ("built-in retina display"), , after it applies the driver.manage().window().maximize(), it shows 4 elements on the screen. It scrolls once and shows the next 7 elements. But once it gets to that 7th element, automation fails. The error I get is:
org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException:

Is there anything in there that tells anyone what the issue is? I can't figure it out. I've tried adding scrolls, but I don't think I should have to for just this one browser, should I? There must be some configuration I could adjust? I tried removing the HDMI and using just the macbook itself, nothing I have tried works.
If anyone knows anything that could help, I'd appreciate it!

Though your Selenium version is 3.141.59 but your JDK version 1.8.0_71 is too old and ancient.
System info: host: '[redacted]', ip: '[redacted]', os.name: 'Mac OS X', os.arch: 'x86_64', os.version: '10.15.5', java.version: '1.8.0_71'
Solution
Ensure that:
JDK is upgraded to current levels JDK 8u271.

This issue is occurs because your chrome browser version is not compatible with the chrome driver version. Check your chrome browser version and then install chrome driver from the below location based on your os.

I am using Version 78.0.3904.97 (Official Build) (64-bit) with windows and currently using chromedriver_win32.zip

Selenium unable to connect to ChromeDriver 75 on Mac

We are upgrading a previously-working Selenium/Java/Chrome test configuration, to newer versions:
ChromeDriver 2.35 -> 75.0.3770.90

macOS 10.14.5 (unchanged)
Java 11.0.3 (unchanged)
Chrome 75.0.3770.100 (unchanged)
However, when attempting to run a Selenium test, we see:
java.net.ConnectException: Failed to connect to localhost/0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1:28719

All the resources I've found in this area suggest using --whitelisted-ips='', which did not have an effect, or were related to incompatible Selenium/Chrome/ChromeDriver versions, which I don't think is the issue here.
Update: I can confirm that the driver starts, and is listening on port 28719, but then stops at some point between startup and execution of the actual test. I've found no errors/logging related to the shutdown.
Update 2: I've debugged, and the initial commands sent to the remote driver succeed (setWindowSize()), but this line causes the driver to die silently:
((WebStorage) driver).getLocalStorage().setItem("token", token);

It seems newer versions of the ChromeDriver (Or Selenium? I don't know.) launch Chrome with an initial page sitting at the URL data:.
By adding these system properties prior to instantiating the ChromeDriver:
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.logfile", "/Users/craig/chromedriver.log");
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.verboseLogging", "true");
I was able to glean the following right before the driver quits:
[1561563455.971][INFO]: [01517094c63c0dd609c06a5622afe6b1] RESPONSE ExecuteScript ERROR <unknown>: Failed to read the 'localStorage' property from 'Window': Storage is disabled inside 'data:' URLs.
(Session info: headless chrome=75.0.3770.100)
So by changing this call in my test utility code:
((WebStorage) driver).getLocalStorage().setItem("token", token);
To this:
if (driver.getCurrentUrl().startsWith("data:")) {
// Driver will quit if we try to access localStorage without a page load
driver.get("/");
}
((WebStorage) driver).getLocalStorage().setItem("token", token);
Everything is now fine. https://i.imgur.com/edBQBeJ.gif

Editing:
LocalStorage is available only after launching any website. ie after driver.get

how to run codeception acceptance testing with selenium on remote server

I have a testing server for my phpunit, and now we want to add our codeception acceptance testing with selenium.
But as you the remote server has no "desktop" so it will not open a browser like in our developers computers.
I tried installing firefox on the machine but I still get this error:
Cannot find firefox binary in PATH. Make sure firefox is installed. OS appears to be: LINUX
Build info: version: '2.44.0', revision: '76d78cf', time: '2014-10-23 20:02:37'
System info: host: 'testdev', ip: '127.0.1.1', os.name: 'Linux', os.arch: 'amd64', os.version:
'3.2.0-23-generic', java.version: '1.7.0_65'
Driver info: driver.version: FirefoxDriver
so now I did this
WebDriver:
url: 'http://example.com/'
browser: firefox
capabilities:
binary: "/usr/bin/firefox"
and I get this error:
Unable to connect to host 127.0.0.1 on port 7055 after 45000 ms. Firefox console output:
Error: no display specified
Error: no display specified
is it possible what I'm doing?
or I must have a "screen"?

In order to use Selenium with Firefox, or Chrome, etc - you need a linux distro that has a User Interface.
If you are on a linux machine that doesn't have a display (aka, just a terminal), then you can research Selenium HTMLUnit (headless browsing).

You could do headless browsing via the PHPBrowser, or you could install a GUI like xfce4 vnc4server, which will give you a virtual desktop to run Firefox in. This has the added bonus that you can watch the test run graphically.
