Firefox 3.6 update breaks selenium.

Question

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.

Answer 1

Ok. Found the problem. My Netbeans was using version 1.0.1 which did not support 3.6.

Answer 2

You can also try the extension "Nightly Test Tool" before a extension officially supports a new released version.

Answer 3

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
