I'm having a problem when launching Firefox from Selenium (using version 2.53.2).
When I launch it using:
from selenium import webdriver
driver=webdriver.Firefox()
it launches, then straight away tries to close with a "Firefox has stopped working" error.
This has been working previously, I tried to uninstall and reinstall Firefox, but I'm still getting the same problem every time.
I don't get the issue if I launch Firefox manually.
This is a know issue with Firefox 47:

When trying to run .get(), the automated safari window opens and tries to load the given URL, but crashes immediately with "Safari has crashed unexpectedly" window.
The snippet just the beginning of a fully functional bot I made a few months ago. When coming back and trying to run it again, I have encountered this error.
My safari does have the "allow remote automation" option checked.
The WebDriver test code provided in the documentation causes the same issue, where the automation window opens then crashes safari immediately. I am on the latest versions of safari and MacOS.
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from time import sleep
class InstaBot:
def __init__(self, username, pw):
self.driver = webdriver.Safari()
self.username = username
self.driver.get("https://www.instagram.com")
Code opens automated safari window with instagram.com in the URL box, then crashes safari immediately.
Regarding browser/driver compatibility, latest versions installed, according to WebDriver Safari has native support, are there any recent compatibility issues? I have not found anything online.
Safari version 15.6, Selenium version 4.3.0, Python 3.10.5.
I just updated to TestCafe v1.18.0 and I followed the upgrade guide. I am able to run tests against Chrome and Firefox, as the system correctly prompted me if I wanted to let TestCafe control these, but this is not happening for Safari, so I am unable to test against it. I don't see any way to manually add an entry in the Automation tab either.
Automation Tab entry for TestCafe Browser Tools
Edit: I managed to add it using the remote option for TestCafe and pasting the URL into Safari, but even after that, npx testcafe safari is unable to launch Safari. I'm using an M1 Mac and macOS Monterey 12.0.1
TestCafe 1.18.0 does have the Safari-related issue. It has already been fixed. Please update TestCafe to v1.18.1.
I am automating a simple login script through Browserstack using Selenium.
The script I have written works on chrome windows, chrome mac os, and Android Samsung. However, when I run the script through apple iPhone 11 or mac os safari I get an error message saying can not locate
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[contains(text(),'Log in')]")).click();
Apart from the device, I am automating nothing else changes.
What is the fix for this?
If the test returned "cannot find element" on the device, I'll recommend changing the element locator strategy.
You could otherwise also try to inspect the app against the same browser manually via Live: https://live.browserstack.com/
This could help you narrow down if the element locator is correct.
I am using Selenium grid jar on a mac machine.
When:
the test is started
Safari browser is opened
the target web page is navigated to
findElement() is completed successfully
but on attempted click or getting element displayed or visible state, there is
"An unknown server-side error occurred while processing the command.".
There was nothing in the node console log when the error occurred.
I am only using the "browserName", "safari" desired capability.
I have been searching for version dependencies or other capabilities needed, but I couldn't find anything. Any help would be appreciated.

I tried to perform drag and drop operation by following on Firefox 23.0.1 browser with Selenium WebDriver 2.35.0:
driver.action.drag_and_drop(source, target).perform
but it results into:
Selenium::WebDriver::Error::InvalidElementStateError: Cannot perform native interaction: Could not load native events component.`
Even though change log says:
2.35.0 (2013-08-14)
===================
Firefox:
* Updated Firefox native event components to support Firefox 23.
why native events error is thrown with Selenium WebDriver 2.35.0 and Firefox 23.0.1 combination?
I asked same question twice on #selenium irc channel, but no one replied to it. Help me to understand if I'm doing something wrong.
