Resolves an issue with the Import wizard popping up every time the Firefox browser opens

Each time you open the Firefox browser will pop up the Import Wizard This page, only this page is closed, the Firefox interface will open.

Workaround:

c:\users\{User name}\appdata\roaming\mozilla\firefox\profiles.ini

Change isrelative=1 in Profiles.ini file to Isrelative=0

Error:

In ' connect_until_stable ': Unable to obtain stable Firefox connection in seconds (127.0.0.1:7055) (Selenium::webdriver: : Error::webdrivererror)

Due to the fast update of Firefox, it is possible that the current gems package no longer supports related operations.

It is recommended to download the latest gems package

Https://rubygems.org/gems/selenium-webdriver

It seems Selenium Webdriver gets frequent updates to keep on with Firefox.  But how does you know which version need? Hopefully this procedure would work even as versions change:

1. Go to http://www.seleniumhq.org/download/.

2. Scroll down to Selenium Client & webdriver Language Bindings.

3. In this section, in the Ruby language line, click on "Change Log" (direct link).

4. In the "Change" Log, determine which version of Selenium you need for your version of Firefox.

If you ' re using the bundler, run to see bundle show selenium-webdriver which version. To update, for example to 2.35.0, add this line to your Gemfile :

gem ‘selenium-webdriver‘, ‘2.35.0‘

And then run to bundle update install. If you is using spork, remember to re-start it before re-running your tests.

Update One StackOverflow answer indicates that the change Log could be updated sooner in the source code repository than at Seleniu Mhq.org. The repository change Log for Ruby is here:https://github.com/seleniumhq/selenium/blob/master/rb/changes.

Downgrading Firefox

If you need to downgrade Firefox on Ubuntu 12.04, this answer explains what to go back to Firefox 20.  A more general description of a-to-switch to any version of Firefox are given here. Then use this answer-put Firefox updates on hold until Selenium releases a update that works with the later version of Firefox.

In my case, I downgraded Firefox-only to discover-Selenium Webdriver had recently been updated to handle the latest V Ersion, so check for Selenium updates first!
