Selenium 3.2.0 crashes FireFox 52 during driver.quit() @ Win 7 Home Premium & GeckoDriver 0.14.0

Win 7 and FireFox is running in German language. Win 7 has all available updates installed. Same for 32 and 64 Bit GeckoDriver! (my Win 7 ist 64 Bit; my FireFox is 32 Bit). Is this just a problem on my PC ?

driver.quit() is working on my InternetExplorer without a problem.

package JS_JFrame1;                                       

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;                     
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;        

public class SeleniumFireFoxMinimal1 {  



public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {

    System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "e:\\geckodriver.exe");

    WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();                 

    driver.get("http://www.toolsqa.com");                    

    Thread.sleep(5000);                                   

    driver.quit();                                        

    }

}

Other Selenium commands like these work perfectly well:

element = driver.findElement(By.id("sinp"));              

System.out.println( "Element found!");                   

element.clear();                                                

element.sendKeys("black");                                      

element.submit();

Eclipse Console-Output:

When you say your firefox crashes,if this the pop up that the browser gives FireFox has stopped working then the following solution worked for me.

  1. Go to this link http://www.guru99.com/use-autoit-selenium.html to know about and download Auto IT. Basically it allows you to automate windows GUI.
  2. You have to create an exe file using AutoIT which you will add to your selenium script to close the pop up.

  3. Read on the above link how to download and open AutoIT script creator. You can create your own script or use the one below :

    ControlFocus("Firefox","","DirectUIHWND") ControlFocus("Firefox","","Button2") ControlClick("Firefox","","Button2")

  4. Compile an exe and add it to your project.

  5. Run the following script in the end i.e. after you use the driver.quit() method

    try {Runtime.getRuntime().exec(System.getProperty("user.dir") + "//");} catch (IOException e) { System.out.println("Unable to close the Firefox pop up");

Hope this helps.

I have the similar issue on Windows 10, driver.close() doesn't work and driver.quit() throws exception.

The issue is with the latest geckodriver (version 0.14), check these open issues
