Selenium scripts fails in Firefox 47 version

Ipsita Sethi

Selenium [2.53] scripts was working in older version of Firefox, when it got auto upgrade to version 47, the scripts fails.

As soon the scripts try to initialize Firefox, it throws error and stop execution.

Note: Tried some fix related to updates of "Marionette" that also not worked.

Thanks in advance.

This is settings to stop updating the firefox version,
In Tools of Firefox -> Advance -> Update
Select option of "Never Check for Updates...."
Next, make sure you tell Selenium to use Firefox 46:
def setUp(self): ffox = FirefoxBinary('/home/wolfpack/MyPrograms/firefox46/firefox') self.browser = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_binary=ffox)

The reason is,Selenium 2.53 supports Firefox> 47. http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/article/introduction-to-selenium-3-0/ You can refer my article on Selenium 3.0 No need to use marionette you need to download Firefox gecko driver if you want to run Firefox >47 either on Selenium 2.0 or Selenium 3.0. http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/article/interview-questions-and-answers-on-selinium/ Refer my two Articles hope this helps you.
