Error communicating with the remote browser

This error happen when i try execute this looping:

Robot robox = new Robot();
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

//LINKS
String[] l = new String[3];
l[0] = "http://www.google.com";
l[1] = "http://www.wallmart.com";
l[2] = "http://www.google.com";

for(int i = 0; i < l.length; i++){

    driver.get(l[i]);
    driver.manage().window().maximize();;

    robox.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ALT);
    robox.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_F4);
    robox.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_ALT);
    robox.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_F4);
}

I have read this may happen because I close the browser, but don't know how solve this.

Just read what you are trying to do in human language:

1. Open new Firefox window
2. Type "www.google.com" into Firefox adress bar and press Enter
3. Close Firefox
4. Type "http://www.wallmart.com" into Firefox adress bar and press Enter

At step 4 you must say to yourself: "Wait, what? But I did close it!" And thats what I feel the error is about. so to fix it I would propose adding driver = new FirefoxDriver(); at the end of the loop:

for(int i = 0; i < l.length; i++){

driver.get(l[i]);
driver.manage().window().maximize();;

robox.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ALT);
robox.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_F4);
robox.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_ALT);
robox.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_F4);
driver = new FirefoxDriver();
}

anyway, did you know that for closing the window you can also just call driver.close(); and it will do exactly the same as you do by using Robot?
