I need launch Firefox browser with selenium 3.3.0 version.
Is any way to launch without geckodriver ?
For Selenium 2.x later versions it is mandatory to use gecko-driver for Firefox browser. If you don't want to use gecko-driver use selenium 2.x(2.53) version

I recently upgraded the IE Driver server to version 4.0.0.0 32- bit. When I run my test case it launches the browser but never shows any error or responds.
Selenium Version - 3.141.59 IE Version:
IE Webbrowser after launching:
Below Capabilities added:
NOTE: If I use IEDriver -3.150.1.0 it is working fine.
When using Selenium and iedriverserver it is recommended to use the latest version of the major releases. As an example,
Incase you are using Selenium Version - 3.141.59 ideally you should be using iedriverserver v3.150.2.0
Incase you are using Selenium Version - 4.0.0 ideally you should be using iedriverserver v4.0.0.0
Previously I was using Selenium version 2.53 with Firefox version 40.0.1. But now Firefox is updated and I am trying to do with updated version.
So, respond me about "which Selenium JAR is compatible with Mozilla Firefox version 59.0.2 (32-bit)"
As per best practices you must adopt any one from the below mentioned configurations:
I use JMeter WebDriver Sampler (JMeter v4.0) for Chrome Driver (where I specify the path to chromedriver in jp#gc - Chrome Driver Config), and it works.
Now I want to try with latest Firefox Browser (FF Quantum v59.0), but it doesn't work. FF browser is opened but it doesn't go further, ex WDS.browser.get('http://jmeter-plugins.org') is not executed.
It seems JMeter WebDriver Sampler doesn't catch up with geckodriver and changes of FF. I google it, but I don't find any info on this regard. Does anyone know any update on this? Is there any workaround? Thanks
You should look at JMeter Firefox Driver Config plugin restrictions:
the latest Firefox version may not work with the latest WebDriver set. The table below describes the version of Firefox that is compatible with JMeterPlugins:
Current version is compatible only with version 26 of Firefox
Also firefox jmeter addon is not compatible
This add-on is not compatible with your version of Firefox.
Not compatible with Firefox Quantum
The jmeter firefox driver config is only compatible with firefox 26, 33 and the latest is 45 and 46.
You cannot use the version of firefox which is greater than 46.0
Did you add the geckodriver file path in environment variable "Path". If not try that. I am using latest firefox with Jmeter Webdriver and is working for me.

I would like to update the Selenium version 3.6.0 and I was wondering which is the best version of FF to use if Gecko driver is not used?
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Selenium with Gecko Driver
Selenium Release Perspective :
Selenium v3.6.0 (Java) Release explicitly didn't mention any dependency explicitly.
The last dependency explicitly mentioned by Selenium was for v3.4.0 which is as follows :
Geckodriver 0.16 is strongly recommended
GeckoDriver Release Perspective :
GeckoDriver v0.19.0: Firefox 55.0 (and greater) & Selenium 3.5 (and greater)
GeckoDriver v0.18.0: Firefox 53.0 (and greater)
GeckoDriver v0.16.0: Selenium 3.4 (and greater)
Mozilla Firefox Versions :
Ideally, each Selenium release should support each version of Mozilla Firefox releases (starting with Firefox 48.x) where the property "marionette" needs to be set to true (either by default or through configuration) as follows:
cap = DesiredCapabilities().FIREFOX
cap["marionette"] = True
If you are working with the legacy Firefox releases (till Firefox 47.x) GeckoDriver still works but you have to explicitly set the property "marionette" to false as follows:
cap = DesiredCapabilities().FIREFOX
cap["marionette"] = False

You would need to use GeckoDriver if you want to run your scripts in Firefox versions greater than 47.0.1. Firefox 47.0.1 and before would not need GeckoDriver.

I am currently working on Selenium Grid to automate cross platform functionality and using selenium-server-standalone-2.31.0.jar. When i am using Firefox 22.0 it is working properly but not supporting Firefox 27.0. I have tried with selenium jar version 2.37 ,2.38 and 2.39 but the issue still exists. Which version of selenium-server-standalone jar supports latest Firefox versions ?
I was trying on Firefox 27.0. Selenium grid doesnt support it. I just tried on other browser versions and it's working.
