WebDriver addon seems to be installed into Firefox. So please check the network settings
-- firewalls, proxies, antivirus software that can block connections to 127.0.0.1:7055

I think it is Symantec software blocking Selenium.

I was having a similar issue an it turned out that even though I had WebDriver 2.41
set as a Maven dependency my framework was still spinning up a browser using 2.32 because
there were some non-dependency WebDriver libraries in my classpath.  You can check
to see what version Firefox is actually using like this:

- Fire up the test and let it launch the blank page
- Go to 'Add-Ons' / 'Extensions'
- Check the WebDriver extension version.  For me this was still set to 2.32 even though
I thought I was running 2.41

If this or something like this is the case for you, change around your classpath so
any Selenium libraries in there of the old version (or any older version) are demoted
to lines below the libraries belonging to the version you actually want to use.

Thank you scorpion...@gmail.com!

I was wresting with this for a couple of days, then I finally found your note about
checking "Add-Ons"/"Extensions".  It turned out I had 2.32 running too despite including
2.41.  I am using ScalaTest and it happens to include Selenium 2.32 as a dependency
(probably because it has a DSL for Selenium) and it was listed before Selenium 2.41.
 I flipped the order and it fixed my problem.
