Nightwatch Error on Retrieving New Session - selenium

Question

I didn't have this problem before my computer was updated from Windows 7 to Windows 10.
When I try to run my nightwatch test with firefox I get this error:

11:08:56.548 WARN - Exception: 127.0.0.1:7055 failed to respond
I have tried running the test through selenium standalone versions:
2.53.0
2.52.0
2.51.0
And since the latest firefox version (47.0.1) might not work, I've also tried with 46.0.1.
None of these have fixed the issue. Is there some way to fix this, or will I need to go back to windows 7?

Answer 1

I had the same error and by adding:
"desiredCapabilities": {
"browserName": "firefox",
"javascriptEnabled": true,
"acceptSslCerts": true
},
to the test_settings made my build worked
