Firefox crash when I run selenium unit test

I start use Selenium.WebDriver (v2.45) to run visual tests.

As web driver I use FirefoxDriver. I have installed Firefox 38. When I try run test firefox return exception with message:

FF has stopped working.

Does anyone have any suggestions? It worked in previous week, is it possible that my test was crashed by updated?

Problem signature:

There is my test method body:

[Fact]
public void ShouldLoginForTestAccount()
{
    var driver = new FirefoxDriver();
    driver.Manage().Cookies.DeleteAllCookies();
    driver.Navigate().GoToUrl(LoginPage);

    driver.FindElementById("Login")
        .SendKeys("correctLogin");
    driver.FindElementById("Password")
        .SendKeys("correctPassword");

    driver.FindElementByTagName("button")
        .Click();

    Assert.Equal(TestingProjectUrl, driver.Url);

    driver.Close();
}

I have a suggestion. I was getting the error bellow when I called Quit() method of WebDriver.

unknown software exception (0x80000003) em 0x55fdec79

So I created the WebDriver as follow:

FirefoxOptions foxOptions = new FirefoxOptions();
foxOptions.SetPreference("dom.allow_scripts_to_close_windows", true);
driver = new ThreadLocal<IWebDriver>(() => { return new FirefoxDriver(service as FirefoxDriverService, foxOptions, new TimeSpan(0, 1, 0)); }).Value;

Then, before call Quit() method, I execute one javascript to close the main window:

try { ((IJavaScriptExecutor)driver).ExecuteScript("window.close();"); } catch { }

So now I'm able to call Quit() without get any error. I know that this is a workaround, but I think this can help you.

Selenium 2.45 does not reliably work with Firefox 38 due to compatibility issues.

Downgrade Firefox to 35 (link to 35.0.1).
