I've been using the Selenium IDE for a while now in Firefox, but lately Firefox has 'upgraded' itself to V18 - and now I can't find the IDE anywhere in the menu system. I tried installing the Selenium IDE Button which should show up on the toolbar but that is conspicuous by its absence too.
I know I have selenium installed on this machine because my existing tests work (exported to C# and using MSTest), but I can no longer conveniently create new ones using the IDE as a recorder, which is a drag.
Has the latest Firefox broken Selenium IDE?
I've experienced the same thing when trying to run Selenium tests in Java with the WebDriver, so I had to downgrade Firefox to an older version.
Based on their release note I guess the IDE would only support up to version 17 as of now:
http://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/SeIDEReleaseNotes
I have Selenium IDE working in FF 19 !
I did not see the IDE button in FF 19 to launch it, even though it was indeed enabled (perhaps it was there and I did not notice it)
I downloaded and installed FF 17 (to another directory on disk) and then I happen to see it under FireFox--> Web Developer --> Selenium IDE ...
I closed the FF 17 and opened FF 19 , and it was there as well, not sure if it was there all along or not.
To launch it , just do Ctrl + Alt + S as this shortcut works in FF 19 too.
update: FF 19.0.2 is working as well. Just in case, I did also grab the:
"Download version under development unreleased" http://docs.seleniumhq.org/download/
I've noticed that the icon appears when the toolbar is set to 'icons and text' or when the 'small icons' box is ticked, but the icon is blank when 'icons only' is selected and 'small icons' is not.
This is firefox 24.0 and selenium 2.4.0, on Windows 7, but I suspect it happens for most people.
Here's the issue in the Selenium support database:

After updating Firefox to version 50.0 my Firebug opens the default developer tools. The original Firebug doesn't work anymore.
I have always preferred Firebug as my default debugging tool. I want the original Firebug back in Firefox 50. How can I do that?
Firebug does not work anymore once multi-process Firefox (separate processes for the Firefox UI and the websites) is enabled. See the related post in the Firebug blog.
You may be able to reenable Firebug by setting the preferences browser.tabs.remote.autostart, browser.tabs.remote.autostart.1 and browser.tabs.remote.autostart.2 to false via about:config. Though at some point this preference will be removed.
So, you are advised to use the Firefox DevTools instead. I am writing a migration guide on MDN. Firebug features that are not in the DevTools are covered in a Firefox bug.
First remove new version of "firebug" and download old version of "Firebug(2.0.17)" from following URL:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firebug/versions/
Uninstall Firefox completely including deleting the Mozilla folder within your APPDATA.
Then reinstall Firefox and add both Firebug and FireQuery.
After that everything should work as before.
You can also go on Help -> Troubleshooting Information -> Refresh Firefox and install Firebug through http://addons.mozilla.org/
For all the folks out there, there is a good news..!! Firebug works great on these two Mozilla based browsers.
Cyberfox & Palemoon
Both are forks of forefox that uses code before the implementation multi-process. Cyberfox uses the more recent code fork compared to Palemoon.
Both browsers are well maintained and updated regularly.
Cyberfox announced its death on March 2017 but its still actively maintained [as of Dec 2017] and I still get update.
Both browsers support cross platform windows / Linux, on Linux you should have 64 bit distro to use cyberfox. Palemoon on the other hand works great on both the bits.
OS: Windows 7
Firefox: 37
Selenium-java: 2.45.0
I am able to control firefox with code using selenium library. However, for some reason, besides opening the firefox browser, it always opens firefox unsinstaller (helper.exe) as well, with the message "Installer corrupted: invalid opcode".
Does any one know why firefox uninstaller is even triggered in the first place?
thanks
I tried to learn JMeter+Selenium but there is small problem:
I started with this:
http://blazemeter.com/blog/jmeter-webdriver-sampler
done everything to the heading "Code Review".
When I run Thread group it opens Firefox but does not open requested website.
My FF version is 34.0.5
JMeterPlugins-WebDriver-1.2.0
Any ideas?
Take a look into The WebDriver Sampler: Your Top 10 Questions Answered guide
Q. How do I Know Which Browsers are Supported? section explains how to identify appropriate Firefox version for WebDriver plugin.
JMeterPlugins-WebDriver-1.2.0 contains selenium-firefox-driver-2.39.0.jar
Looking into Selenium changelog
v2.39.0
=======
WebDriver:
* Update to support native events for Firefox 26.
So you need to use Firefox 26 with WebDriver-1.2.0 plugin version. You can download Firefox 26 from Mozilla FTP site
If you are doing any native calls in the driver, such as .get or .sendKeys, then the latest version of Firefox you can use is 31.0.6 . If you avoid those native calls and do non-native Javascript calls instead, such as using a JavascriptExecutor to navigate the browser, then you should be able to use a later version of Firefox.
This is supposedly the proper version configuration. I need to stay w/ Firefox 22 in order to be compatible with Selenium WebDriver 2.35. I see the complete Firebug UI but the "Inspect Element" feature doesn't work. When I enable FirePath (which is what I am really after) the FirePath tab becomes the only accessible tab but nothing appears to work. I presume I am in some sort of configuration hell but as far as I can tell I am using the correct versions of all the aforementioned. FWIW - running Win7 32bit. Any suggestions?
You've got Firebug 1.7 because of an issue with addons.mozilla.org and Firebug (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=823840).
You should get the Firebug 1.11.4, which is the last version supporting Firefox 22: https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/firebug/versions/?page=1#version-1.11.4

I am developing GWT+GAE application. In dev mode, I can successfully open the app in FF and Chrome. However, when I try to open it in Safari, I get the missing plugin window. After I click on it, it downloads the dmg which I use to install (I get the successfully installed dialog) However, when I restart Safari, I get the same result. Anybody faced a similar situation? Any workaround?
There is no Safari Dev Mode Plugin
I know two workarrounds:
Use OmniWeb
Use SuperDev Mode
