Did you add firefox to your path after you have started the selenium server? If that is the case selenium will still use old path. The solution is to tear down & restart selenium so that it will use the updated Path environment variable.

To check if firefox is added in your path correctly you can just launch a command line terminal "cmd" and type "firefox" + ENTER there. If firefox starts then everything is alright and restarting selenium server should fix the problem.

The easiest thing to do is have your grid nodes register the Firefox binary path as part of the node config   It uses the same capabilities that the client has  but allows you to pick the browser by name and let the node find it   Please also note that the capability you want is  firefox binary  and not  binary    You can see the full list of Firefox capabilities at this wiki page   https   code google com p selenium wiki DesiredCapabilities

This is due to RemoteWebDriver used in code  It tries to invoke firefox browser in node machine  If you have specified firefox binary location in  PATH  environment variable of node machine  It will open firefix browser on executing it from Hub

Make sure that firefox must install on default place like -  c  Program Files  x86  mozilla firefox  OR c  Program Files mozilla firefox  note  at the time of firefox installation do not change the path so let it installing in default path  If firefox is installed on some other place then selenium show those error   If you have set your firefox in Systems Windows  environment variable then either remove it or update it with new firefox version path   If you want to use Firefox in any other place then use below code -  As FirefoxProfile is depricated we need to use FirefoxOptions as below   New Code   File pathBinary   new File  C   Program Files  Mozilla Firefox  firefox exe    FirefoxBinary firefoxBinary   new FirefoxBinary pathBinary      DesiredCapabilities desired   DesiredCapabilities firefox    FirefoxOptions options   new FirefoxOptions    desired setCapability FirefoxOptions FIREFOX OPTIONS  options setBinary firefoxBinary      The full working code of above code is as below   System setProperty  webdriver gecko driver   D   Workspace  demoproject  src  lib  geckodriver exe    File pathBinary   new File  C   Program Files  Mozilla Firefox  firefox exe    FirefoxBinary firefoxBinary   new FirefoxBinary pathBinary      DesiredCapabilities desired   DesiredCapabilities firefox    FirefoxOptions options   new FirefoxOptions    desired setCapability FirefoxOptions FIREFOX OPTIONS  options setBinary firefoxBinary    WebDriver driver   new FirefoxDriver options   driver get  https   www google co in       Download geckodriver for firefox from below URL   https   github com mozilla geckodriver releases  Old Code which will work for old selenium jars versions  File pathBinary   new File  C   Program Files  x86   Mozilla Firefox  firefox exe    FirefoxBinary firefoxBinary   new FirefoxBinary pathBinary   FirefoxProfile firefoxProfile   new FirefoxProfile           WebDriver driver   new FirefoxDriver firefoxBinary  firefoxProfile

I ve just had this issue without changing PATH   My PC is Win7  64-bit system   If you are also using 64-bit system  you may want to try    uninstall your current Firefox  install new Firefox under  C  Program Files  x86  Mozilla Firefox   path    It must be under  Program Files  x86   NOT  Program Files   Hope it can help

I had the same issue in C  using 64-bit Windows and the 64-bit Firefox browser which doesn t seem to work on Selenium  If you are using the 64-bit browser  try the 32-bit one   Surprisingly  the 32-bit Firefox browser runs on 64-bit Windows just fine   Edited to clarify the intent of my post

I didn t see the C  anwer to this question here  The trick is to set the BrowserExecutableLocation property on a FirefoxOptions instance  and pass that into the driver constructor           var opt   new FirefoxOptions                       BrowserExecutableLocation     c  program files mozilla firefox firefox exe                     var driver   new FirefoxDriver opt

User · Answer

This issue may be because of the incompatibility of firefox driver and your firefox browser version  Download the latest version of firefox driver which is compatible with the updated Firefox browser version

User · Answer

Another option is to configure the server rather than the test client   Configure the slave node service so that it knows where the firefox is  Install location can change from node to node  or even need multiple services running on a node to support access to different versions of FF   java -jar  selenium-server-standalone-2 2 0 jar   -Dwebdriver firefox bin  C  FirefoxCollection Mozilla Firefox 36 0 firefox exe
