I tried changing the selenium server to 2.35 or 2.39, and I updated ff to 26. But it does not work

When I downgrade ff to 24, my scripts work fine.

• I would like to know why this happened and the root causes.
• I would like to know what is a permanent solution for the above 24 version of ff.

Please help me with this.

Answer 4

The problem seems to be that the latest version of Firefox does not support the web driver. Faced a similar problem, used the instaed chrome driver from Firefox, and it worked.

When we download the web driver and extract it to a folder, the change file will be there, open it with notepad, the specified version of Firefox will be mentioned. Therefore, we can successfully execute the script in the specified version of firefox.
