Setting minimum require Selenium to 4.25.0 within requirements.txt. Also bumping up the latest and previous Selenium version with the select workflow.

Adding Yuri's reasoning which I support and like,

"The current >= 4.3.0 is from mid-2022 and predates Chrome for Testing, the download unzip fix, and several Selenium Manager improvements. Since we are now requiring Python 3.10+, there's no reason to support such an old Selenium floor. 4.25.0 (late 2024) is widely deployed, avoids all the known download issues, and still gives users flexibility — they're not forced to be on the absolute latest."
Updated Selenium version under latest and previous. Also renamed Firefox flavor
or latest to lastest_firefox.

Note: We should also update/review/refactor the CI.yml someday soon-ish. To have a more complete pipeline with more coverage when we make a release.

Selenium 4.25 is more than year and half old. I would at least use something from 2025, perhaps not from 2026. But I would aim for something less than year old.
