For RSpec and RubyMine users:

If your RSpec or Ruby tests are not talking to the browser, but the browser is opening and doing nothing this is likely because your selenium-webdriver is not up-to-date with the current browser.

Or this can be because there are multiple versions of the selenium-webdriver gem installed and it is using the oldest one by default.

Here you can see the multiple versions listed in RubyMine:

File > Preferences > Language & Frameworks > Ruby SDK & Gems

Go to terminal and then your project root where your gemfile is stored and type:

gem list

You will get a list with a line like the following:

selenium-webdriver (2.53.4, 2.44.0)

You can uninstall the old version using something like the following:

gem uninstall /Users/username/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.1@stillwell selenium-webdriver

Note: you can get the path by running gem environment

Then it will ask you the following:

Select gem to uninstall:

selenium-webdriver-2.44.0
selenium-webdriver-2.53.4
All versions

If you don't have the version you need, to install a specific version run the following at the terminal prompt:

gem search selenium | grep webdriver

You should see something like the following:

selenium-webdriver (2.53.4)

Then you can install that specific version with the following in the terminal:

gem install selenium-webdriver -v 2.53.4

I also updated my FireFox browser.

I am using Capybara and RSpec. Generally, Capybara defaults to FireFox but if you are still having problems you may want to explicitly define the driver at the top of your .rb script.

Capybara.register_driver :firefox do |app|
 profile = Selenium::WebDriver::Firefox::Profile.new
 profile['browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone'] = 'ignore'
 profile['startup.homepage_welcome_url.additional'] = 'about:blank'
 Capybara::Selenium::Driver.new(app, :browser => :firefox, :profile => profile)
end

Please refer to https://stackoverflow.com/a/37728659/6469532

Summary: Combination of Firefox 47.0.1 and Selenium 2.53.1 will resolve the issue as of now.

Try using firefox 46.0.1. It best matches with Selenium 2.53 Surely it will work for you.

Previously I had same issue, can't loaded the url using Firefox version 45.0.1. The external JAR's is selenium-java-2.46.0. After upgrade the selenium server to selenium-java-2.53.0 (http://www.seleniumhq.org/download/) and update the other external JAR's in the project (some JAR are updated and removed in selenium version 53). Finally, I can loaded the URL successfully on Firefox 45.0.1 using selenium-java-2.53.0.
