Protractor / WebDriverJs giving errors when passing seleniumSessionId for Firefox instance

[tfaron]

I am trying to run my testing using Firefox, we currently run with Chrome and have no issues:

I have a webDriverJS session started with an instance of Chrome and Firefox browsers running

I started the sessions using: http://localhost:4444/wd/hub/static/resource/hub.html

i'm running the latest webDriverJS / GeckoDriver

Running from Chrome is fine when using seleniumSessionId

Here is a snippet from my conf.js file

exports.config = {

  framework: 'jasmine',

  seleniumAddress: 'http://127.0.0.1:4444/wd/hub',

  seleniumSessionId: '4848dca3-5f7e-4a6b-bd45-3a6975971ca8',

  // capabilities : {browserName : 'chrome'},

  capabilities: {

    browserName: 'firefox',

    marionette: true

  },

when I kick off my tests the following error is occurring

I have been able to use CURL successfully to verify

http://16.100.206.160:4444/wd/hub/session/Sessions

However

http://16.100.206.160:4444/wd/hub/session/Session/<sessionId> 

will fail for Firefox but not chrome

I am able to run /<sessionId>/url for FIrefox and get back the URL
