This can be caused by issues such as browser crashes, version mismatches, network interruptions, JavaScript errors, resource exhaustion, or incorrect WebDriver initialization. To mitigate these issues, best practices include ensuring compatibility between WebDriver and browser versions, improving network stability, handling JavaScript errors, managing system resources, and optimizing timeouts and waits.
