Steps to reproduce -

I just got this error today, and seemed related to the fact that the chrome driver used along with my google chrome version was not supported. (I was using an old driver version).

This error is coming from chrome/chromedriver. You should definitely upgrade your version of chromedriver - you say you're using 2.9, but that's 3 years old! You can find the latest release (2.28) here:

This is the correct fix for the issue. Thank you jleyba!
