Firefox : 50.0.1, GeckoDriver :13, selenium 3.01, IDE: Eclipse, Programming language : Java
Using below code :
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver","C:\\geckodriver.exe);
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("https://www.youtube.com/");
driver.close(); Or driver.quit()
In driver.close() the browser is not closed
In driver.quite() the browser is closed and Firefox crashed.
Getting Error: "plugin container for FireFox has stopped working."
Please let me know any solution
Steps you can try:
Uninstall any plugins in the Firefox browser.
Use the 64-bit version of geckodriver for 64-bit Firefox, similarly, 32-bit geckodriver for 32-bit Firefox.
I have tried the code in the same environment, and driver.quit worked for me. driver.close still not closing the browser.
You should always use driver.quit() when you want to close browser and not just one tab.
This exception you get is unfortunately known issue when quitting geckodriver firefox instance, see this links for details.

You can create a new firefox profile steps can be found here!
In your code use this new profile created.
WebDriver webdriver;
ProfilesIni profile = new ProfilesIni();
FirefoxProfile myprofile = profile.getProfile("myProfileName");
webdriver = new FirefoxDriver(myprofile);
Now webdriver.quit(); will close the firefox browser after the test has run.
This seems to be a problem with the geckodriver.
The workaround which worked for me was to install the older version of geckodriver, 0.20.1, which you can download here: https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases/tag/v0.20.1

I am facing issues with launching websites from firefox and chrome. I have referred online blogs and chatrooms on the same but could not find any helpful support, hence I would require someone to assist me on this.
I have run the following code multiple times using different URLs, but all the time, chrome opens with google.com. At the same time, I have used the firefox driver as well but inspite of that chrome opens with google.com.
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\ADITYA\\SELENIUM TEST LAB\\chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver=new ChromeDriver();
driver.get ("google.com");
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "C:\\ADITYA\\SELENIUM TEST LAB\\geckodriver.exe");
WebDriver driver=new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get ("google.com");
Please help/suggest on what change needs to be done.
Unable to open firefox browser with specified url in selenium webdriver. Only the browser is opening without the url.
Firefox version is 47.
Selenium version is 2.53.
There are two ways to solve your problem.
1- You can downgrade your firefox by reinstalling and select Never check for updates (not recommended: security risk) in your firefox by nevigate through
Open Menu->Options->Advanced.
2- if you want to working with current version of firefox which is 47 you should try with MarionetteDriver...by following this
If you have any problem with this let me know...:)

Please help with your answer

I think that's happening because the new issue occurs with latest update of Mozilla firefox.
It's happening with me too.
To overcome from this issue you need to setPreference as xpinstall.signatures.required", false to firefox Profile and then pass it to driver object
firefoxProfile.setPreference("xpinstall.signatures.required", false);
Below code is working fine for me.
static WebDriver driver=null;
public static void main(String[] args) {
final FirefoxProfile firefoxProfile = new FirefoxProfile();
firefoxProfile.setPreference("xpinstall.signatures.required", false);
driver = new FirefoxDriver(firefoxProfile);
driver.get("https://www.google.de/");
Hope it will help you :)
We know that for firefox , driverserver.exe is not required while it is required for chrome or IE. Please help me to understand why Firefox is default Implementation of WebDriver.
From here - https://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/FirefoxDriver :
Firefox Driver
Firefox driver is included in the selenium-server-stanalone.jar available in the downloads. The driver comes in the form of an xpi (firefox extension) which is added to the firefox profile when you start a new instance of FirefoxDriver.
Firefox is baked in the jar file. It comes as a xpi, which is the extension of firefox . As soon as you instantiate the FrefoxDriver it gets added. See this
i am unable t download the opera mini browser driver , like How we can follow the chrome browser. can u please provide the link . so its useful to work and open the browser.
Selenium webdriver don't support opera-mini (but I hope it will change.
For the moment if you want to test OperaMini on your computer for testing purpose you need to use MicroEmulator :
Installing Opera Mini on your computer
Good luck !
There is no OperaDriver exe to download( like for Chrome/IE).
You just need the Selenium jar file to instantiate opera driver instance. Please refer this link to get more details on Opera Driver
