Firefox version 39 and selenium version 2.45

I tried mvn clean install for my project but firfox always crashes when running tests locally.

Any solutions?

回答1:

According to information you provided it is security issue, Windows 7 complaining, wild guess there is some kind of pop-up which is blocking further interaction.

Try to update Selenium to the latest version which is 2.47.1, see if it helps.

If it was working on previous version of the Firefox, then try downgrade browser.

Follow the below steps to disable popup and error reporting. This will help the selenium tests to proceed further.

Steps to disable Mozilla crash popup

1.1 Turn Off Error Dialog through Group Policy Editor

1. Open the Group Policy Editor by typing gpedit.msc into the Start search box or the Run dialog.
2. Navigate to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Error Reporting. Double click on “Prevent display of the user interface for critical errors” in the pane on the right.

3. Click on the radio button Enabled and then press OK. 1.2 Turn Off Error Dialog via Registry

4. Open the Registry Editor by typing regedit into the Start search box or the Win+R Run dialog.

5. Navigate to the following registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting

3. Double click the DontShowUI entry on the right and change its value to 1, then close the registry editor.
   1.3 Disabling Windows Error Reporting

4. Go to Control Panel > Action Center > Change Action Center settings (top left) > Problem reporting settings.

5. Select “Never check for solutions” and click OK. Ask before checking also works because the dialog won’t appear to ask you.
