Unable to Obtain Stable Firefox Connection in 60 Seconds (127.0.0.1:7055)

Unable to obtain stable firefox connection in 60 seconds (127.0.0.1:7055)

I had the same problem (on Linux). Fixed with:

gem update selenium-webdriver

Now I am using ruby 1.9.3-p286, selenium-webdriver 2.29.0, firefox 18.0
As well as rspec-rails 2.9.0, capybara 1.1.2, and capybara-webkit 0.12.1

I added selenium-webdriver 2.29.0 to my Gemfile to be safe.

I've found the same problem in Mac OS X Mavericks after I updated the Firefox 26.

I solved the problem by updating the selenium-webdriver gem

In your gemfile, replace your current selenium-webdriver gem line with

gem "selenium-webdriver", "~> 2.38.0"

In your console, gem update selenium-webdriver.

Then bundle install.

Try the running the test after.

[Update - this can (was for me) still be a fix for this issue in 2015 |mdurrant|]

I came across this problem lately.

You should upgrade to capybara v1.0.1 to have a correct selenium webdriver.

To be sure I added:

gem 'selenium-webdriver', '2.25.0'

in my Gemfile.

Important note:

The selenium-webdriver gem is updated, and a new version released, for every subsequent version of Firefox. Presently, version 2.25.0 is needed to support Firefox 15.
