Firefox WebDriver doesn't work with Firefox 32

I've just updated to Firefox 32, when I attempt to run my Selenium Webdriver Test, Im getting the following

Failed to start up socket within 45000 ms. Attempted to connect to the
following addresses: 127.0.0.1:7055 OpenQA.Selenium.WebDriverException
was unhandled by user code   HResult=-2146233088   Message=Failed to

       at SMT.Web.FunctionalTests.Drivers.Driver.GetWebDriver(Int32 browser, String page)

I was expecting to be able to run the tests as per normal.

Has anyone experiencing the same thing? How did you resolve the issue?

Selenium version: 2.41.0 (Installed as a Nuget Package) OS: Windows 7 Browser: Firefox Browser version: 32

You need to download the latest client jar. And all ALL OF THEM to the build path there will be 2 jar files in the root, and numerous in the lib subfolder.

Download the client : http://selenium-release.storage.googleapis.com/2.43/selenium-java-2.43.1.zip

enter image description here

source: http://www.seleniumhq.org/download/

Edit: Better solution if you use Maven. https://maven.apache.org/what-is-maven.html In eclipse just create new maven project, or on exists project configure -> convert to maven project.

Then insert the pom the selenium dependency. selenium maven Current selenium pom:

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.seleniumhq.selenium/selenium-java -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
    <artifactId>selenium-java</artifactId>
    <version>3.0.1</version>
</dependency>

The latest version of Firefox WebDriver (Selenium 2.44) now works with Firefox 32. However if you're downloading Selenium via Nuget within Visual Studio, ensure that you've got the correct project selected within the package manager console. I downloaded the new compatible version into my solution and still experienced the 45000ms timeout error. It turned out that I had updated Selenium in my main project but not in my test project.

The latest Firefox version that Selenium 2.41.0 officially supports is 28. Downgrade your browser. According to the other answers, downgrading to Firefox 31 is enough to make it work.

It is always a good idea to have the latest selenium package installed. The strategy, though, is always the same - make sure that you are using the version supported by your selenium package browser.

Just downgraded my browser to version 31. selenium-2.42.2 does not work on FF version 32.

That is correct. 2.42.0, and 2.42.2 will not work with FF 32. The failures is as follows: org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: Unable to bind to locking port 7054 within 45000 ms .

So the strategy is to roll back until 2.43 is released.

They have a ticket about this issue and they've fixed it for version 2.43

see here

I don't know when they'll release 2.43, so I guess downgrade your browser or switch to HtmlUnitDriver, ChromeDriver, or OperaDriver in the meantime?

Instead of downgrading your browser as others have suggested, why not upgrade your WebDriver to 2.42?
