Before filing an issue, please read the page at
http://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/SeleniumHelp This contains lot of
information about how best to get help, and tells you what we need to know.

Still here? We know that bugs are frustrating and annoying things. We also
know that you've probably spent ages trying to figure out what's wrong. The
more information you give us now, the more likely it is that we'll be able
to help.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
Calling 
 driver = new FirefoxDriver()
Generates the exception
     org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: Failed to connect to binary FirefoxBinary(C:\Program
Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe) on port 7055;

What is the expected output?
A FF browser session opens and executes the coded testcases.

What do you see instead?
Browser window never appears.


1. Firefox version 31.1.0 ESR
2. Selenium version 2.43.1
3. Tests failed with


Selenium version: 2.43.1
OS: Windows 7 Professional SP1
Browser: Firefox
Browser version: 31.1.0 ESR


Please provide any additional information below. A sample reduced test
case, or a public URL that demonstrates the problem will intrigue our merry
band of Open Source developers far more than nothing at all: they'll be far
more likely to look at your problem if you make it easy for them!

Firefox was updated during the start, that usually takes more than 45 seconds, that's
the reason for the failure.

You mean every time I run selenium Firefox is being updated? 
It fails every time I run the code, no matter how many times I reboot my system and/or
restart FF.

there are selenium related error messages there.

Having same issue, working with FF 31 ESR

Reported by shashwat1906 on 2014-11-11 10:51:44

lukeis · 2016-03-04T09:14:59Z

I too am experiencing this problem.

I've just updated my automation environment to Selenium 2.44 and FireFox 33.1 and now,
seemingly randomly, I get the following error message:

      Failed to connect to binary FirefoxBinary(C:\Apps\Mozilla Firefox\33.1\FireFox.exe)
on port 7055

Note: I was previously running with Selenium 2.42.2 and FireFox 29 and all was good.

I have gone through all of my test environments and have recreated my FireFox default
profiles (using "FireFox.exe -p") just in case, somehow, the profiles have become corrupted.
I shall see if this reduces the number of times I see this error.

This issue is real and should not be discarded so quickly.

Well, resetting the FireFox profile didn't do squat. The problem still remains.

So now I will have to try different settings (in FireFox, when I create the FirefoxDriver,
etc...).

BTW, with Chrome this all works flawlessly. With IE it appears to work 95% of the time.
With Firefox... maybe 5% of the time. Not great.

Reported by michael.remillard@ticketmaster.com on 2014-11-24 13:40:19

lukeis · 2016-03-04T09:15:02Z

Well, I finally got it working again.

I couldn't find any preferences or whatnot that made a difference so I re-deleted the
FireFox profile. But this time, instead of using the tool to recreate the profile (FireFox
-p), I simply started up FireFox and let it take care of everything.

After that my FireFox automated tests appear to be running nicely - I no longer get
the message:

     Failed to connect to binary FirefoxBinary(C:\Apps\Mozilla Firefox\33.1\FireFox.exe)
on port 7055

Hopefully that will prove to be reliable and this issue will no longer come back to
haunt me.

Well, my FireFox profile recreation approach fixed my problem for about 95% of the tests
run. I still get a few which result in the error message:

     Failed to connect to binary FirefoxBinary(C:\Apps\Mozilla Firefox\33.1\FireFox.exe)

lukeis · 2016-03-04T09:15:04Z

I run into this issue periodically too.  Is it related to Firefox wanting to update
on startup?  

If so one of these should fix the problem:
- changing app.update.enabled to false (in about:config) or 
- changing advanced options to not check for Firefox updates

I'm going to try it out and hopefully I don't see the problem anymore.

lukeis · 2016-03-04T09:15:04Z

I've got same problem as described at the start of this email chain: 
"Failed to connect to binary FirefoxBinary on port 7055".  

The way I solved it was to edit the POM.XML file on my Eclipse IDE.  Once on the Edit
mode, I made the following settings on the "Dependency" section of the POM.XML file
and saved the file after.
<dependency>
      <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
      <artifactId>selenium-java</artifactId>
      <version>2.44.0</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>junit</groupId>
      <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
      <version>4.11</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.apache.poi</groupId>
      <artifactId>poi</artifactId>
      <version>3.10.1</version>
    </dependency>
Now, this combination of Selenium version 2.44.0  JUnit version 4.11 and Apache POI
library version 3.10.1 works well with Firefox version 33.11 
One more penny of advice is to PREVENT Firefox from automatic updates, since that will
create problems with the different versions of Selenium.  To prevent Firefox from updating
automatically go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox and rename this three files
to "_old" as "updater" rename to "updater_old", same do for update-settings and the
updater application, rename to "updater_old".  Firefox will still download the latest
version, even though you may have change your defaults on Firefox configuration file
to "Not update automatically", which does not work.  The only SECURE method is to rename
the updater application so the update may fail.

Solved the problem by downgrading FF to 31.0 and Selenium to 3.43.1

This issue happened to me after FF updated to v.36
Walk around:
1. Uninstall FF
2. Download and install FF v.33 (till v.35 should work)
3. Run: firefox.exe -p  to delete profile with files. Close Profile Manager
4. Open FF. Do not import anything from different browsers
5. Run your tests

agreed with last comment, it happens becuase the version is 36.
just install version 33 and no problem with that issue

lukeis · 2016-03-04T09:15:09Z

lukeis · 2016-03-04T09:15:10Z

I had the same problem. The bug is fixed in v36.01. if you have that version and problem
still occurs re-install it again and it should work

Reported by mirmacedonia on 2015-03-09 12:31:05

lukeis · 2016-03-04T09:15:11Z

FYI, I have v36.0.1 and still have the problem. Re-installing did not fix the problem
either.

Guys no reprieve on this FF 36 Still gives the Issue . 

1) Download re-install of FF 36 .. no help
2) Profile deletion recreation .. no help
3) Downgraded to version 33 ... it works....

Profile deletion can't help.
But works in versions <= 33.

lukeis · 2016-03-04T09:15:13Z

I had this issue with Firefox 36, also people were facing the same in 35 and 44.

For conclusion, upgrade your Firefox to 37 or downgrade it to anything less than 33.

Please use this code to resolve immediate issue,it worked for me:

                WebDriver obj=new FirefoxDriver();

                obj.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(60, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
        Thread.sleep(10000);

        obj.get("http://url");

Updated to 2.47.1, but when Firefox 41 b1 was pushed today, the same issue is cropping
up...looks like lack of support for FF 41.
Is there something we can do locally to get it to work, till we get a new version of
Selenium to support the new version?
