Questions tagged [selenium-firefoxdriver]

Selenium FirefoxDriver is a WebDriver implementation that controls the Firefox browser using a Firefox plugin.

Firefox driver is included in the selenium-server-stanalone.jar available in the downloads. The driver comes in the form of an xpi (firefox extension) which is added to the firefox profile when you start a new instance of FirefoxDriver.

Pros

  • Runs in a real browser and supports Javascript
  • Faster than the InternetExplorerDriver

Cons

  • Slower than the HtmlUnitDriver.
