Downgrade firefox to 8 - firefox

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.

How can I achieve Protractor support for Firefox 48 and up?

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.

Which browser versions are compatible with GWT Developer Plugin and macOS 10.14.5?

I'm currently trying to use GWT Developer Plugin in the envirnment macos-mojave.
Firefox tells me that I need versions from 3.0 - 26.0, so I tried versions of 23 and 24 but they crashed shortly after I run them.
Safari tells me that I need versions under 5.1, so I tried version 5.0.5 but it's not compatible with macos mojave. And then I tried OmniWeb 5.11 but it cannot even run in macos mojave.
Chrome tells me that "GWT Developer Plugin no longer works with Chrome".
So I'm wondering if it's possible to use GWT Developer Plugin in macos-mojave. It would be grateful if someone can help.
You don't need the plugin.
Search for GWT SuperDevMode.
This works without plugin in is the standard way of using GWT for about 4 years.

Firefox version affects selenium webdriver test cases. What is the reason?

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

Selenium WebDriver(2.42.2) stopped working suddenly on firefox 32

Webdriver on firefox has stopped working suddenly. Uptill now it was working absolutely fine.When I run my test I get a blank firefox page and then in the eclipse console i get the error. org.openqa.selenium.firefox.notconnectedexception.
I was using WD latest jar 2.42.2 with the firefox version 32. It was working fine till an hour back, and suddenly it has stopped working.please help. Snapshot of error is as follows-
org.openqa.selenium.firefox.NotConnectedException: Unable to connect to host 127.0.0.1 on port 7055 after 45000 ms. Firefox console output:
Firefox 32 is NOT officially supported by Selenium 2.42.2. See here : https://code.google.com/p/selenium/issues/detail?id=7836
We can expect sometime this week for 2.43 to release which will solve this issue.
I need to upgrade selenium to version 2.43.1. Besides that I install the version 18 of guava.
It doesn't look to have relation, but it will work.
A similar situation arose for recently me. Using 2.43 Selenium Python driver with Firefox v36 which was working perfectly for months on end, and used every day. Suddenly bang, not working. Firefox had updated to v37. To solve it all I did was update using selenium using:
"pip install -U selenium"
Which installed 2.45.

Are selenium 2.16.1 and Firefox 9.0.1 compatible?

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).
