What is the exact problem? What have you tried and why did it not work? From your post, I can't see if it is even necessary to use Selenium. Could you share the URL so we can see the page in question ourselves? — Tristan

Do you want to extract Device Type and Firmware as text or the values i.e. test 6000 and 1.2.2.43 — undetected Selenium

I like @DebanjanB 's Waits, but that method is WAY more complex than required. This should get you there (try for surgical XPaths, they are less brittle).

find_element(By.XPATH, "//i[@class='js-toggle-icon']/..").click()
device_type = find_element(By.XPATH, "//li[contains(text(), 'Device Type')]/span").text
firmware = find_element(By.XPATH, "//li[contains(text(), 'Firmware')]/span").text

Works fine if you add time.sleep(5) above your 3 lines of code.

@Tola time.sleep is a great way to write slow, expensive test suites. Use Explicit Waits, save yourself and your team time and money.

As per the HTML to extract the text Device Type from the modal you can use the following line of code :

Device_Type_element = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//div[@class='mainPopContent']/ul[@class='tree' and @id='parent']//following-sibling::li[2]")))
Device_Type = Device_Type_element.text

To click on Network Mode you can use the following line of code :

Network_Mode = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//div[@class='mainPopContent']/ul[@class='tree' and @id='parent']//following-sibling::li[2]//i[@class='js-toggle-icon']")))
Network_Mode.click()

Finally, as per the HTML to extract the text Firmware from the modal you have to remove the style="display: none;" first and you can use the following line of code :

Firmware_webelement = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//div[@class='mainPopContent']/ul[@class='tree' and @id='parent']//following-sibling::li[2]//ul//following::li[2]")
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].removeAttribute('style')", Firmware_webelement)
Firmware = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//div[@class='mainPopContent']/ul[@class='tree' and @id='parent']//following-sibling::li[2]//ul//following::li[2]").text
