Originally reported on Google Code with ID 3829


I have an application that  uses Selenium WebDriver 2.13 to connect to FireFox this
has worked fine up until now, when I have been forced to use Firefox 10 ESR, Now the
following line causes the application to crash. I have tried with and without a profile
with the same effect.

driver = new FirefoxDriver();

Stack Trace and other info, the above code is on line 648

I initially tried it with 2.13 and then the last test, stacktrace above was with 2.21

Tested with Firefox ESR 10.0.4

I compiled and ran the example from here http://seleniumhq.org/docs/03_webdriver.html#introducing-the-selenium-webdriver-api-by-example

But that crashed with the following stack trace

If you have a browser started (a browser window appear), but it does not execute any
commands -- check your proxy settings, it is possible that the proxy blocks connections
to localhost:7055

Reported by barancev on 2012-05-04 12:28:35

lukeis · 2016-03-03T23:03:37Z

Yes, the browser does appear but stays blank, I have not set up the code to use proxies.
I have also checked the firewall logs and system logs on the machine and nothing is
being blocked when the code is running.

Also I have tried running the Selenium2Example code on another machine with Firefox
11 and 12 and it runs fine.

lukeis · 2016-03-03T23:03:38Z

I have upgraded original machine to firefox 12 and Selenium2Example and my code work
ok, but I have to test firefox 10 ESR as that is what the users are using.

Looks like my install was a bit broken from work that I was doing. With a clean install
it is working fine.

Can you install Firefox 12 on this machine and try again? You can install multiple
versions of Firefox on the same machine

I uninstalled Firefox 10.0.4 ESR and Firefox 12 cleared out the folders in Local Settings
and Program Files folders,then re-installed 10.0.4 ESR and ran my code again.

Code is running in Rational Application Developer 8, throws the following

This can be closed now, I have found that the Firefox ESR release from the Mozilla website
works fine. The problem is with the edition released internally by the company I work
for.
