Is Selenium 2.52.0 Compatible With Firefox 51.0.1?

I'm writing program in Java and I need to record user interaction through browser. I use Selenium 2.52.0 and I plan to use Browsermob in order to record HTTP request.

Here is a simple code to run Selenium

public static void main(String...args) {    
    WebDriver driver  = new FirefoxDriver();
    driver.navigate().to("http://localhost/stres.php");
    String appTitle = driver.getTitle();
    System.out.println("Application title is :: "+appTitle);
    driver.quit();
}

The Firefox browser run, but it didn't go to the specified address and only showed a blank white page. Then I got the following error

at org.openqa.selenium.firefox.internal.NewProfileExtensionConnection.start(NewProfileExtensionConnection.java:113)
    ... 7 more

It is compatible, but we need to add the gecko driver like we are adding for chrome driver and we need to set the path for it.

System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver","path where the driver is present");
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("www.google.com");

Short answer: No it is not compatible, use firefox 46 or older.

This is because Firefox started using gecko from firefox 47 and selenium needs a driver to work with it. So from Firefox 47 and over you need to have the geckodriver. You can get it from here. Also You need to be using selenium 3.0 or later.

To launch latest version of Firefox Browser using Selnium, we need to set a system property “webdriver.gecko.driver” to the path of executable file “geckodriver.exe”
