firefox 47.0 browser incompatibility with selenium 2.53.0

Upgrade Firefox to 47.0.1 and selenium to 2.53.1.This should work.

Selenium 2.53 or 2.48 not working in Firefox 48.0

I found another solution for my question with Firefox 48 and Selenium 3.0.0(Beta 3) because Selenium 2.48 didn't work.

If you want run selenium script then you have to download....

Selenium 3.0.0(Beta 3) - http://www.seleniumhq.org/download/

GeckoDriver exe - http://www.seleniumhq.org/download/

put below code in your script

public class FirefoxTest{

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

    System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "Path + geckodriver.exe");
    //For E.g ("webdriver.gecko.driver", "C://geckodriver.exe")

    DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.firefox();
    capabilities.setCapability("marionette",true);
    WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(capabilities);
    String baseUrl = "https://www.google.com";
    driver.get(baseUrl);

    }   
}

Selenium 2.53.1 does not work on FireFox 48

Just like the other drivers available to Selenium from other browser vendors, Mozilla has released an executable that will run alongside the browser.

You can download the latest executable geckodriver from here

Add downloaded executable geckodriver to system path

The Selenium client bindings will try to locate the geckodriver (or wires) executable from the system path. You will need to add the directory containing the executable to the system path.

• On Unix systems you can do the following to append it to your system’s search path, if you’re using a bash-compatible shell:

  export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/directory/of/executable/downloaded/in/previous/step
  

• On Windows you need to update the Path system variable to add the full directory path to the executable geckodriver. The principle is the same as on Unix.

After all above stuff you need to Initialize FireFoxDriver as below :-

var driver = new FirefoxDriver(new FirefoxOptions());

Note :- Follow this link for the solution of this problem with other programming language.

Could not locate Firefox on the current system (Firefox 47)

The latest Firefox 48 and Selenium Webdriver 3.0.0 solved this particular issue.
