Workaround that we have is to use Firefox 31 on Selenium 2.41. Even using Firefox 30
and below on Selenium 2.41 we have the same error.

This is causing the error:

driver.findElements(By.cssSelector(css));

Line is located on GlobalNavComponent.java:241

Please provide a complete executable scenario and a sample page to reproduce the issue.

Hi, I am working on the sample page. Will post it when I am done.

Thanks.

Hi, Please take a look at the below test. Please import selenium-server-standalone-2.43.1.jar
(latest) file.

Test passes using Selenium Server 2.41 jar file on Firefox 31. But it fails using on
Firefox 32.0.3 on Selenium 2.43.1 with below stacktrace. This is on both Windows and
MAC:

Folks, do we have any updates on this? The test case above is still producing the same
error. (I also updated the selenium jar file in case there were any updates to that).

I can confirm that firefox 32.0.3 and selenium-webdriver (2.42.0) (the ruby gem) don't
work properly.

Folks it's been a month. Any fix in the pipeline for all the Firefox 32 issues that
users reported here?

Even am getting the above error on running the below code, any solutions for this?

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.interactions.Actions;


public class Walmart {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
        driver.get("http://www.walmart.com");



        WebElement rootNode=driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='top']/div/div/div/div/div[1]/nav/ul/li[2]/div/a"));

        Actions act = new Actions(driver);

        act.moveToElement(rootNode).build().perform();
    }

}

Hi Guys,

Even i faced the same problem with Firefox 34.0.5 and selenium 2.44.0. However i found
a workaround. Below is the same.

Before the required operation you want to perform click on any button/element on the
page by providing a try catch block and then write the required code to execute. It
executes properly.

So as i have seen this happens for the first element operation performed and works
fine for rest of the elements.

Hope this works fine.

Good Luck!!!

Hi your workaround solution works fine...

Hey guys,

It's the first time I'm posting in the forum... I was having the same issue with my
Selenium WebDriver test. When trying to locate a WebElement on the page, I was getting
this error:

org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: Permission denied to access property '_wrapped

So followed the workaround someone posted and upgraded my Firefox from version 30 to
31 and it seems to work. Firefox 31 works with both Selenium version 2.41 and 2.45
for me. 

Can someone please explain to me what was the other workaround about using the try
catch block? It didn't seem to work for me before when I had Firefox 30 running. Can
someone please provide an example code? Thank you very much.
