I have updated my Firefox version from v31 to v32. When I created my test cases in .net using web-driver, it was running perfectly in Firefox version 31 but as soon as I have updated my version to 32 it stopped running. It only opens the browser and doesn't navigate to URL. To solve this issue I uninstalled the v32 and installed v31 and its working fine. But I want to run on latest version.
Please advice. Any help would be appreciated.
Selenium WebDriver versions and Firefox versions are tightly coupled.
You need to use a Selenuim WebDriver version which supports Firefox v32. Usually the latest Firefox version supported in a particular Selenium WebDriver release is mentioned in the CHANGELOG.
If memory serves me, I believe Firefox v32 is supported in Selenium 2.43.0

For quite sometime now I have been trying to run protractor with Firefox (Windows) v48 and above to run my AngularJS application.
However, as per protractor docs:
WebDriver support for Firefox has changed recently, and Firefox version
48 does not work properly with the current tools. For the moment, we
recommend testing against Firefox 47
This information was updated 3 years ago and nothing seems to have been done afterward.
Versions
OS - Windows 10 64-bit
Protractor - 5.4.2
Firefox - 68
selenium-stanalone-server: 2.53.1
AngularJS - 1.6.9
I did raise an issue recently on GitHub for the same, but it has not received traction yet.
I would like to know if anyone has been able to get around the issue for Windows.
Yikes, Firefox 48 is probably 2-ish years old. What you'll need to use is geckodriver. webdriver-manager should download the latest geckodriver automatically and you can either use direct connect or selenium standalone server to run this.
To download only the geckodriver binary, you could use:
webdriver-manager update --chrome false --standalone false
Note: chromedriver and selenium standalone jar file are downloaded automatically and these flags will turn them off.
When you want to start the server, you'll just use:
webdriver-manager start
or you could use directConnect. Direct connect will work as long as you used
a local version of webdriver-manager. It will not work if you used a global installed version of webdriver-manager.
who can help me?
Which Firefox version is compatible with Selenium 2.48.0
Selenium WebDriver 2.48 supports till firefox version 41.0 , For more details please have a look at changelog of selenium webdriver.
Selenium ChangeLOG
Selenium support for Firefox is the latest release, the previous release, the latest ESR release and the previous ESR release.
Selenium 2.48.0 is supported for Firefox from 24 to 41, unless I'm missing something.
I know I have used Selenium 2.47 with Firefox 41. Are you having specific issues with it?
Webdriver unable to find elements in firefox 24.0.
The webdriver got stuck after maximizing the window and opening the url.
Trying to find webelement but webdriver does nothing and not giving any error/exception on the console
The same code working on Chrome and with lower version of firefox
This is caused by the incompatible Selenium version - most recent is 2.35 which is probably running only on FF 23. So you have to stick to the FF 23 until the new version of Selenium is released.
I've had a similar issue with the current version of selenium and had to downgrade all the way down to firefox v19 to gain stability.
If you are willing to risk some instability you can grab a dev snapshot that may already have the fix you need. The snapshots are at http://ci.seleniumhq.org/
I'm trying to run windowbuilder Pro in eclipse, but when I try, it says I'm running Firefox 10 and the debugger only supports up to firefox 8.
So how do I downgrade my firefox to 8? I'm running Ubuntu 11.10
If you're stuck on Firefox, yes .. you will have to downgrade.
You could try Chrome though ..
Firefox 10 works now with the plugin.
But you could also get a portable version of firefox.
This way you can test with also older version of firefox.

under Other version you can select different versions.
is anyboy running selenium 2.16.1 together with Firefox 9.0.1 and therefore can prove that this versions are working together?
I have problems with not executed commands (timeout and not-found log errrors)...
Thanks!
It appears the answer is both yes and no:
Yes, on Linux Selenium 2.16.1 and Firefox 9.0.1 get along just fine.
No, on Windows that same combination causes some serious problems; I observe them as well.
On windows I get good results with Selenium 2.16.1 and Firefox 8.0.1, you could try that. Alternatively, try upgrading to Selenium 2.17.0 (released earlier this week).
