Selenium doesnt see my test suite - macos

I've created a test suite in selenium IDE using the example code from the website and when I right click and attempt to load the suite it tells me the test is empty. This is on latest stable ff for mac and selenium 1.07

It turns out that the open Test suite is under the menubar and the menubar title says firefox so I was confused. Had only used selenium on linux before. Found the openTestSuite and it worked like a charm now

UI automation using selenium - firefox not launching

I am new to automation and trying to launch firefox using selenium webdriver with dont net and C# for my test cases. Last week it worked fine and suddenly today firefox is not launching at all.
Error:
Unable to bind to locking port 7054 within 45000 ms
I updated the selenium webdriver from 2.43 to 2.45 and firefox version is 36. I still do not see the browser launching. Earlier I saw the webdriver extension in firefox, but after upgrading the webdriver, I do not see it.
I also tried downgrading the firefox to verison 34, but still see the same error. Any suggestions would help me a lot.
I rolled back the selenium update and tried with older version of firefox. it worked. Thanks

Why does firefox open when I run tests instead of the default browser chromium?

I have chromium set as my default browser. Every time I run rspec and capybara my firefox browser opens. I prefer to use chrome/chromium for development and personal use, so how do I get chromium to start opening when I run tests?
You should use chrome driver for capybara. Please have a look at this answer:

Selenium IDE no longer compatible with Firefox 18?

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:

Selenium IDE doesn't record once I stop and click record again

Hi I met a strange issue which didn't show before when I use Selenium IDE to record some tests.
It doesn't get the url automatically when Selenium IDE is opened.
Which is the critical problem: once I stop the recording or play the test case which would stop the recording as well, it no longer records any additional action when I click again the recording button.
I'm not sure whether this is the problem of Selenium IDE or some problem with my Firefox. What I use is Selenium IDE 1.9.1, and Firefox 17, and there's no such problem when the first time I used it a couple of days ago.
Many thanks for the help.
Check this link.
Firefox 17 will be supported in upcoming selenium ide 1.10.0. So, better downgrade your firefox to 15 for better functioning of selenium ide 1.9.1
Just for record, I have fixed the issue in Selenium IDE v2.3.0, which should be released soon. See http://code.google.com/p/selenium/issues/detail?id=5820

Selenium Server on CentOS 6.2 has no keyboard input while testing

We currently have a problem with SeleniumServer which is troubling me for 2 days, now...hope you can help me.
The Selenium Server is running on a CentOS 6.2, Selenium Server is 2.21 and Firefox is 10.0.4.
When a test is starting up, SeleniumServer launches Firefox but he can not type anything in the form fields or press "Enter" to submit.
Even better, no one (not even me with VNC-Server) can write something in the form field, url bar, menus, press a key like "Enter", etc....it is as the keyboard is not present... It´s like Firefox is locked somehow.
If a start Firefox with Interactive-Mode : selenium-server.jar -interactive & cmd=getNewBrowserSession&1=*firefox&2=http://www.google.com everything is working fine, I can do all the tests manually.
I can also start firefox manually with just typing firefox in the shell and that is working fine, too.
So what is going on in Selenium and how does Selenium starts Firefox? Why is no Keyboard-Input available when running a Selenium-Test with SeleniumServer?
We tested with MacOS and Windows, too and both working fine with the same test.
Any idea would be appreciated.
Greetings from Berlin
Fixed it myself with an older version of Firefox. Firefox 7 worked for me.
