I really hope someone can help me with this, I am stumped!
I had the latest FF and then a defect came in specific to FF ESR. I installed ESR to different directory and created it's own profile so I could use two FF instances side by side. After doing this though Firebug will no longer open/start.
Environment:
Windows 7 -
Firefox 36.0.4 -
Firefox 31.5.3 (ESR) -
Firebug 1.12.8
I have done the following but still won't open:
Uninstalled both latest and ESR Firefox
Deleted Mozilla directories in:
C:\Program Files (x86)
C:\Users\james\AppData\Local
C:\Users\james\AppData\Roaming
Ran CCleaner
Restarted machine
Fresh install of latest Firefox
Fresh install of Firebug 1.12.8
Firebug 1.12.8 didn't work
Removed Firebug 1.12.8 and installing Firebug 2.0.8
Same behaviour for Firebug 2.0.8
Still unable to open/start Firebug....
During the fresh install - are there any directories I should have deleted that I didn't?
Any other ideas?
All help will be greatly appreciated!! :)
Thanks all in advance!
James :)
Same issue happened to me but on Windows 10. Following instruction resoved it for me.
1) Follow this instruction: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/uninstall-firefox-from-your-computer
2) Make sure you remove Mozilla in these 2 directories:
-C:\Users\THISUSER\AppData\Local\Mozilla
-C:\Users\THISUSER\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla
3) Restart machine, reinstall firefox and reinstall firebug etc ...
It should work after that. tested.

My Selenium program written with Ruby randomly stopped working (it ran perfectly yesterday) and gave me this error:
Backtrace:: session not created: This version of ChromeDriver only supports Chrome version 89 (Selenium::WebDriver::Error::SessionNotCreatedError)Current browser version is 91.0.4472.77 with binary path C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe
I've since tried:
Un & re-installing ChromeDriver (newest version, as I was using before)
Replacing my current version with version 89 along with changing the path (this resulted in the same error)
Following these similar issues 1 & 2
I'm not sure where to go from here
I had a similar problem recently with the C# version.
I would double check where Selenium is being ran from.
In my case it was debug/netcoreapp3.1\chromedriver.exe, so it was running an outdated version compared to the version of Chrome installed.
Make sure you have the correct ChromeDriver version from here
If this fails, check the Ruby bindings wiki here
I had the same problem, but in C#. I had to update Nugget for ChromeDriver to match versions. So I basically updated my ChromeDriver to 91.0.4472 and it's resolved the issue.
P.S.: Sorry me and please be lenient with my English.
Since I Updated my PhpStorm, internal terminal stop works.
My terminal is not work now, just a gray screen:
My OS:
Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS
I'd installed:
I try to remove all my local settings, then reinstalled it without any imported settings, but nothing changed.
at idea.log I found that: error.
How to decide it?
It had been solved. I don't know about what was reason of it.
But I had been upgrade all installed tools at my system. Then I try again fully "reinstall" (remove&download&extract&init) PHPStorm with deleting personal settings and plugins. And finally now it's work.
I am working on project in which I am using GWT and Java technology. My firefox version is 44 and when I try to run project into development mode.
Firefox says to install plug-in. I installed plug-in as well but its not working. Then finally it says to down graded Firefox version.
I am using Ubuntu 14.4 as OS. Does someone have any idea how to install Firefox28 on Ubuntu 14.4.
I read one article as well but its not working.
http://www.liberiangeek.net/2012/04/how-to-install-previous-versions-of-firefox-in-ubuntu-12-04-precise-pangolin/
go into synaptic and highlight your installed version of firefox.
click "package"..and then click "force version". there is a version 28 in there.
if you don't want it automatically updated, click "package" again and "lock version"
I am using Firefox 27 (previously 26) on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with a Tomcat application with the Selenium stand alone server 2.39 (latest form Maven) including in the application. Everything works fine with Chrome but i would prefer to use Firefox, which cannot work. The Firefox is installed from the standard distributions using xvfb. Again, all the setup is fine as Chrome works, but when i try to use firefox with the following code:
WebDriver webDriver = new FirefoxDriver();
webDriver.get("www.google.com");
When i take a screen shot of the xvfb, i see a window with the following error:
"Your firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible".
The webDriver.get("www.google.com") just hangs and does not ever return.
The same code works fine on my development machine, Mac OSX.
I've tried to downgrade firefox and to no avail, same issue. Anyone have any suggestions?
This seems like an OS problem (read/write permissions or so), rather than a Selenium problem. It seems someone managed to fix it by changing the owner of the Firefox cache folder.
Try executing these commands:
sudo -s
chown -hR $USER:$USER ~/.cache/mozilla
Please take a look at this and let us know if it worked Ubuntu - Firefox profile cannot be loaded after upgrade
I found out the issue. When running in Ubuntu under Tomcat, the Tomcat instance is run with a root user (tomcat7) when installed from the standard distros. The issue was, which was pointed to me by Mourasman's response, was Firefox wants to create a .cache/mozilla directory. This is not possible with a root user. In order to fix this on the Ubuntu machine, I had to run Tomcat as a "real" user on the system with a home directory that allowed Firefox to create the cache directories it wants (even though Selenium gives it its own profile).
I had trouble doing this using the Ubuntu tomcat distro (I know there is a user and group field in /etc/default/tomcat7) but i could never get it to work. When i changed the user, which i'm assuming has to do with permissions, it never did work.
So i ended up downloading the source from Tomcat and starting Tomcat manually.....
Hope this helps anyone else who is trying to use Firefox in Selenium in a Tomcat application.
Thanks Mourasman for the pointer on the .cache directory....
I have a project where we have some Selenium tests. I have recently upgraded Firefox to 7.0.1 because it prompted me to and now the "WebDriver for Firefox" extension that these tests use is broken.
How can I fix this? Must I uninstall this current version of Firefox and install an older one? Or is there a file I can edit to tell it to ignore that the version is different?
An upgrade to Selenium webdriver to 2.8 would probably solve it.
http://web.archive.org/web/20120115040501/http://selenium.googlecode.com/svn/tags/selenium-2.8.0/rb/CHANGES
Unfortunately this has been the case for every Firefox upgrade since 5.0
I would try with the latest selenium-webdriver. I run Firefox 7.0.1 as well and it works with selenium-webdriver 2.8.0.
You can tell Firefox to ignore plugin and extension versions.
Type about:config in the browser address bar
Right-click and create a new boolean value called extensions.checkCompatibility.7.0
Set this value to false
That should prevent the plugin raising an issue with its version compatibility to 7.0.1
i am working with FF-8. Just change the firefox version from standalone.jar. For this unzip your jar file with unzipper and search for install.rdf files in the unzipped files. Open them in word pad and change version. you can add the latest version of browser. There are five or six files that to be changed. after doing that again zip them change to extension .jar
