Check version Firefox, I get this erro with 64bits

[ghost]

I installed x32 and I get the same error

[pabloruan0710]

Do you have what version of python? Have only one version of firefox? 62.0.0?

[ghost]

I us python3.6 and Firefox version 62

[lfdelphino]

Same thing here, happened exactly after firefox updated

EDIT:
This link helped me. Try downgrading back to version 61.0.2 or using another browser like Chrome. Also, disable automatic updates on Options > General > Firefox Update.
This was happening for get_unread and sendMessageToID but downgrading worked like a charm

[ghost]

Thanks @lfdelphino But how i install this bz2?

[lfdelphino]

Hope this helps: https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/61.0.2/

[pabloruan0710]

Downgrade to 61.0.2 to fix this error.

[rbnishant]

Just downgraded to 61.0.2. Cyclic error resolved but got a new error

[lfdelphino]

Did you edit your echo.py before running or is it the same of the repository?

It still looks like a selenium error, are you using the latest version of this repo _(don't use pip)_?

[alfonsodg]

Hi, I am using the docker containers and get this error:
" File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/remote/webdriver.py", line 320, in execute
self.error_handler.check_response(response)
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/remote/errorhandler.py", line 242, in check_response

"
The selenium hub now uses firefox 6.2 and my version of this library is the latest master from git, any recomendation?

[lfdelphino]

That's a firefox related issue as discussed _(not only)_ on SeleniumHQ/#5621, you should still be able to downgrade firefox back to 61.0.2

Another option is trying to run with Chrome but I don't recommend that as it could be more buggy than this Cyclic exception

[rbnishant]

Just for info, I got the cyclic exception in firefox version 61.0.2, using ubuntu 18.04.1, python 3.5.

Also, I am testing the repo again chrome as of now, and it seems to work fine till now. Have run basic commands only, send/read a text message, get contacts. I will provide more notes if I face any issues with chrome and maybe try to resolve them too.

[ghost]

It was the firefox version, thanks to all

[mvrozanti]

Worked for me as well. To downgrade Firefox to version 61 I downloaded it from here, removed firefox (sudo pacman -R firefox in Arch) and just created a link to the binary in the extracted folder with sudo ln -s ~/util/firefox/firefox /usr/local/bin/firefox.

[renatonerijr]

It worked for me too
I tried to use firefox 62.0.3v but didn't work
Then I used the beta version 62.0b9 and it worked

[arthurbarros]

is it gonna be fixed for the docker pipeline on the readme file ?

[danpe]

Same error here by just running the 2 docker containers in the readme.

@danpe , Please downgrade the firefox version to 61.0.2 in the selenium docker. It should fix your issue.

[danpe]

@Jinul Awesome! works!
I used: docker run -d -p 4444:4444 -p 5900:5900 --name firefox --network selenium -v /dev/shm:/dev/shm selenium/standalone-firefox:3.14.0-curium

[fms6]

@Jinul Awesome! works!
I used: docker run -d -p 4444:4444 -p 5900:5900 --name firefox --network selenium -v /dev/shm:/dev/shm selenium/standalone-firefox:3.14.0-curium

It's also possible to build a selenium image with a custom Firefox version.
The following commands worked for me:

$ git clone https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/docker-selenium.git
$ cd docker-selenium/
$ BUILD_ARGS="--build-arg FIREFOX_VERSION=61.0.2" make standalone_firefox_debug

[nsperic]

Hope this helps: https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/61.0.2/

I made the downgrade but the error remains!

raise exception_class(message, screen, stacktrace)

selenium.common.exceptions.JavascriptException: Message: TypeError: document.querySelector(...)._reactRootContainer.current is undefined

[mvrozanti]

@nsperic are you sure you got the right version? If you're on linux, try firefox -v.

[nsperic]

I am using windows and yes, the version of firefox to be correct.

[Jinul]

@nsperic, Maybe you can give it a try with Docker environment.

[mrodal]

Are there any plans on fixing this issue? staying on ff61 is not a solution, eventually it will go old
