Hi Mark,

Looking at the capabilities, you have added "browserName":"firefox" which is not supported in Appium.

By default, Appium only supports “Chrome” for “Android” and “Safari” for “iOS”.

For the correct capabilities to execute you test on mobile devices, you may refer to the Appium section in capabilities generator:
