Steps to reproduce -

Just use Firefox 46.0.1 with Selenium 2.53.0 for Java.

[DanielSundberg]

I use the Selenium nuget package of Selenium and execute tests from C# in Visual Studio and I have the same problem in Firefox 45.0.2. In my case it seems like Firefox is picking up an invalid version of the Selenium add-in after updating from 2.48 to 2.53:

I've also tried to delete temp directories created by Selenium test run (C:\Users\my_username\AppData\Local\Temp\anonymous.*)

If I look at the file created under _C:\Users\my_username\AppData\Local\Temp\anonymous.23910f1f67d443819508836abee8b1a8.webdriver-profile\[email protected]\install.rdf_ it looks like this:

Max version of Firefox handled is 45.0, clearly this won't work for me. How can I get the correct _install.rdf_ file to load?

Looking at Selenium code at label 2.53.0 this is not the code I should get:
https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/blob/selenium-2.53.0/javascript/firefox-driver/extension/install.rdf

See also https://github.com/TestStack/TestStack.Seleno/issues/244

[jimevans]

I've just confirmed that the correct version of the Firefox add-in is packaged inside the WebDriver assembly for version 2.53.0. Also, looking at the linked issue, the root cause appears to be a manually-extracted version of the webdriver.xpi extension added to the source tree. The .NET bindings can look for the extracted extension file in the output directory (the same as the WebDriver.dll assembly). This is a feature as opposed to a bug, as it allows the user to override the version of the extension, using a different one than that provided as an embedded resource in the WebDriver.dll assembly.

Good news.

I just get that resolved on its own. Still wondering.. What i did is i uninstalled Firefox and installed 46.0.0 once again and than i removed my selenium jar from my project. Refreshed my project. Showing Error so again added the same Jars and again did refresh and when i ran my script, i was surprised as it it worked and opened up firefox and processed further.
