I'm unable to run any selenium tests since I updated Firefox to 3.6. Is it happening just to me or is it everybody?
Error message I get is: Could not start Selenium session: Failed to start browser session
This is in Windows Xp.
Ok. Found the problem. My Netbeans was using version 1.0.1 which did not support 3.6.
This fixed it: http://geekswithblogs.net/thomasweller/archive/2010/02/14/making-selenium-1.0.1-work-with-firefox-3.6.aspx
You can also try the extension "Nightly Test Tool" before a extension officially supports a new released version.
Selenium 1.0.3 was updated to work with Firefox 3.6 so suggest updating your version instead of going in and hacking the jar file.
You can get the latest version from http://code.google.com/p/selenium/downloads/list

I am not able to run my GWT application due to browser plugin issue. I have tried to find the GWT plugin for Mozilla Firefox browser for the version of 36. Could you please anyone can help me to identify the suitable plugin.
Rationale can be found in the GWT forum: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/google-web-toolkit/QSEjbhhHB4g/wtI5TYFRevsJ
TL;DR: the plugin was using APIs that have been removed in Firefox 27, so it's no longer possible to compile it (and it was required to recompile it for each new version of Firefox).
Now, I am successfully running my gwt application on any of the browser, without installing any browser plugin. If you are using gwt-2.6.0, run your application in Super Server Mode. That will generate a link related to your application. Place that link in any browser url bar and run it. But it will take some time of compiling the application and then you will get the UI on the browser screen. To install gwt-2.6.0 onwards, your installed JDK should be after 7 version.
How to avoid updating selenium WebDriver for new Firefox versions
I am using Selenium Webdriver and a Firefox version for testing.
Selenium:-
https://github.com/vertis/selenium-webdriver
Selenium is updated based on the Firefox version. Every time, I have to match the versions of Selenium and Firefox version to work with. How to avoid updating the version.
I have found some info about this here :
http://makandracards.com/makandra/1575-how-to-install-a-frozen-version-of-firefox-for-your-selenium-tests
Anyone know solution for it ?
For newer versions of firefox, newer versions of Selenium is required. If you want to avoid changing selenium version, simply stop update on firefox.
Go to tools --> Options --> Advanced --> Update and check Never check for updates.
On Firefox 21, S-IDE worked fine. Just upgraded to the officially released FF22, and any test I try to run errors out:
[error] Unexpected Exception: fileName -> chrome://selenium-ide/content/selenium-core/scripts/htmlutils.js, lineNumber -> 309, columnNumber -> 8
Is there a workaround for this?
There's a fix now available, but you may encounter a similar problem with keyPress commands.
From what I have seen, the scripts stop on any 'Click' action when running FF22. Reverting back to FF21 is the best solution for now.
I upgraded to version 2.1.0 and all of old selenium jobs started to work fine. The official release for version 2.1.0 is on July fifth but it seems they have made it available probably because so many people are now having problems.
here is the link which has the version 2.1.0 available
http://docs.seleniumhq.org/download/
I posted the following issues with FF22 and Selenium IDE 2.0.. which you may also encounter.

I can't get the current version (1.9.207.249) to work in with Firefox 14.0.1 with Firebug 1.10.2.
I assume it is broken because the plugin has not been updated for the release of Firebug 1.10.
Has anyone got it working with these settings?
A new version of ColdFire was released that should work with Firefox 15/Firebug 1.10.

Based on this I will assume it's still alive. Perhaps try the Chrome version?

It looks like the jssh plugin (required to run WatiN) still needs work going by FireFox Bug 586869, to quote:
Probably obvious to anyone who ought
to be trying to maintain jssh, but, to
get it back all you have to do is "hg
up -r 3ca5d6674feb" and copy it to
wherever you're going to work on it.
Haven't found much recent activity on SO for jssh either.
Firefox + jssh build
WatiN - Support for firefox and chrome
check the links - watin works with firefox latest version after installing mozrepl-jsshv2.6.xpi provided by Fabian
Thanks to Fabian. I hope the Watin and Firewatir community embeds this xpi in their repo
