After many tests with many old versions of Firefox (3.0.19, 3.6.28, 10.0.2) I have some trouble.
My last test was to launch "selenium-server-standalone-2.24.1.jar" with this args : -firefoxProfileTemplate C:\Users\XXXXXXXX\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\g3c1ac71.Profile_FF_10
In this profile I have configured language to French but it doesn't work, my website is display in English. I also had an SSL exception but when selenium launch my site, Firefox give me an alert about selfsigned certificate
With version 3.0.19, profile was used but Firefox crashed because of Flash plugin, so I know I know use profile.
It's really hard to understand compatibilty between selenium and Firefox.
Is this a special step I forgot ?
Regard
After I reboot my computer, all work like a charm. Strange !

selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: Can't load the profile. Profile Dir: C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Temp\2\tmpc2_p3ubt If you specified a log_file in the FirefoxBinary constructor, check it for details.
When I try to run my Python script, Firefox is timing out. Does anyone have any suggestions on which versions i need to match?
Uninstall current firefox version than Download Firefox from this link https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/46.0.1/win64-EME-free/en-GB/Firefox%20Setup%2046.0.1.exe and then try again
Note : you have to uncheck automatic upgrade of firefox after install of 46 using below setps:
Goto Options
Goto advance
Under Firefox updates: Never check for updates (not recommended: security risk)
If you want to run on firefox >= 48 then you need to upgrade to selenium 3beta. https://seleniumhq.wordpress.com/2016/07/29/announcing-selenium-3-0-beta1/
It wont and its a known issue, Refer thread here
https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/issues/2559
Can't fix.
In Firefox 48, Mozilla requires extensions to be signed. They have
refused to sign Selenium's Firefox driver extension (webdriver.xpi).
Feel free to contact them and/or log an issue for them at
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org
The way forward now is to use GeckoDriver. Which is now the default
implementation used in 3.0-beta
This issue has been known as a long time coming, I highly recommend
pinning your automation to use Firefox 45 ESR until a release of using
GeckoDriver/marionette is stable enough for your tests.
Gecko Driver is a way forward.
Im new to automated testing and im trying to record a particualr scenario using firefox selenium IDE (Fireforx version : 26 ans selenium IDE version : 2.5). A couple of days I was able to record and play that scenario. But when I try doing the same today, it does not record anything and all i see is a plain window (no commands). But google, wikipedia, gmail everything gets recorded fine. There are no changes to the application and it is the same. (imacros are able to record). I have tried reinstalling firefox, selenium IDE and even restarted my machine. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I'm running some Robot Framework integration tests with Firefox 21.0 for Ubuntu. Recently my Firefox was updated and now it always pops up a prompt about incompatible add-ons when it starts. That's unacceptable, as then the tests cannot continue. The prompt looks like this:
There are several instructions about this on the web, but they are all either for some old version of Firefox or for some similar but not the same situation (like when Firefox asks whether to disable 3rd party plugins), or they require one to disable the compatibility check for each version of each add-on separately, so none of them seem to work. How do I get rid of the prompt for good?
Find the prefs.js file from your Firefox profile directory, then add this line into it:
user_pref("extensions.showMismatchUI", false);
Presto! No more warnings about incompatible add-ons.
I am running Selenium Server. I'm also launching an automated test script that I exported from the Mozilla Selenium IDE and exported to my Java client driver program which I compiled and ran in Eclipse using JUnit 4.8. Two windows start up in Mozilla (since I'm using the "*chrome"/Firefox argument when instantiating my browser window object from the Java program). One window looks like it contains logging information of some kind, and the other window is the actual automated test browser window.
Here's how I'm starting the Selenium Server.
cd C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_26\bin\Selenium
java -jar .\selenium-server-standalone-2.0rc3.jar -interactive -firefoxProfileTemplate "C:\Users[Windows-Login]\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\lcllklng.default"
The server starts up fine. The reason I put the -firefoxProfileTemplate attribute into the start-up command because I kept getting the untrusted certificate in Mozilla. I guess this is supposed to default my Windows login Mozilla profile. However, it didn't work. I have to click through the prompts each time I run my test cases. Is there a way to make it avoid the untrusted certificate? Could it be because I'm running Windows 7?
You'd also be my hero if you can help me avoid this for IE, Google Chrome and Safari. But only if you feel helpful today. Thanks!
Switch to WebDriver to avoid this.
After a recent upgrade to Firefox 4, all of my automated selenium tests seem to be hanging on the initial 'Launching Firefox...' command during testing.
Has anyone seen a fix for this, or is my best bet to downgrade?
Have you updated to Selenium 2.0b3? Earlier versions don't support FF4.
** EDIT* *
RC2 is now available:

I was having the same issue. 'Launching Firefox' command, a blank Firefox window opens and the test hangs. Looking at the Firefox Add-ons the three extensions that Selenium installs were all incompatible and disabled. Turns out my test was still accidentally starting up the wrong selenium version. Switching to 2.0b3 fixed the issue.
Recommend you to use latest version of selenium with firefox 4. for me it is working fine withoutany problem.
I am using :
Selenium Server : selenium-server-2.0b2
I hope it helps.
