[🐛 Bug]: Selenium manger in offline mode emits a warning which it should not do.

[aaltat]

What happened?

When selenium manager is run in a restricted environment (access to public internet is not allowed) and when offline mode is to true. Then selenium manager creates a warning (at least with Python bindings) that it can not access to public internet. When offline mode is set to true, I think such warning should not be created.

How can we reproduce the issue?

1. Make sure that your environment is isolated and set SE_OFFLINE environment variable to true
2. Run following Python code

from selenium import webdriver

driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.quit()

Then selenium manager will be run like this:
/path/to/python/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/common/linux/selenium-manager --browser firefox --language-binding python --trace --output json In this case the selenium manager output will contain this json snippet:

    {

       "level": "WARN",
       "timestamp": 1712839173,
       "message": "Exception managing firefox: Unable to discover proper geckodriver version in offline mode"

     }

After that, selenium Python bindings will collect the output and log all warning messages: https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/blob/selenium-4.19.0/py/selenium/webdriver/common/selenium_manager.py#L148

Relevant log output

In logs, I see this warning: Exception managing firefox: Unable to discover proper geckodriver version in offline mode
