I get the following error when trying to open url in firebox via selenium on Mac machine.
The Firefox browser launches but does not open the URL. I can run chrome and open the url. The code:
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "/Users/QA/Documents/Selennium_Classes/BrowserExes/geckodriver/");
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("http://www.facebook.com");
I get this error below from inside the eclipse console while executing the code above.
