Originally reported on Google Code with ID 2064


OS: Windows 7: 32bit
Browser: Firefox 5.0
WebDriver Version: 2.0

Webdriver can't click link in div on windows, but can on both Linux & OSX using the
same browser version.  Webdriver finds the control, the click method is called and
returns without error, but the link is never clicked.

See attached code.

This is working fine for me - which click is failing for you? If you add a Thread.sleep(5000)
before that particular click, does it start working?

No adding the sleep doesn't change anything.  I even kicked it up to Thread.sleep(8000)
before calling click, and still nothing.

Upgrade firefox to the latest version.
This solves the issue for me.

I got the same issue though running Firefox 8.0 and WebDriver 2.12.0. 
Does anyone have any idea to work around ? Thanks.

I hit this yesterday, after a while confused as to why things had stopped working.
to get around it if the link is the child of a div, clickign it's parent div appears
to work.
in other places this didn't work, in which case for the time being I read the href
attribute of the link and just navigate direct to the url. not really the same and
I'd like to switch it back when this is working again.

I am facing this issue in FF8.0.  I revert back to FF3.6 and its working fine.  Need
webdriver to support FF8.0.  I even tried with Webdriver 2.13 but of no help.
