To start Firefox browser on MAC using Selenium webdriver we have to use gecko driver which will interact with Firefox browser.In the previous post, we have already discussed how to work with Chrome on MAC using Selenium.
Jul 18, 2019 How to launch Chrome browser using Selenium Webdriver on MAC? Hey Lucas, you can launch chrome browser using Selenium Webdriver on Mac in following way. Dec 13, 2019 A ChromeDriver is a standalone server or a separate executable that is used by Selenium WebDriver to control Chrome. It is impossible to run Selenium test scripts on the Google Chrome browser without ChromeDriver. One can easily initialize the object of ChromeDriver using the following command: WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver.
Microsoft Edge Legacy Microsoft WebDriver for Microsoft Edge Legacy versions 18 and 19 is a Windows Feature on Demand which ensures that it’s always up to date automatically and enables some new ways to get Microsoft WebDriver. Selenium IDE is a Chrome and Firefox plugin which records and plays back user interactions with the browser. Use this to either create simple scripts or assist in exploratory testing. Download latest released version for Chrome or for Firefox or view the Release Notes. Download previous IDE versions here. This video shows how to configure Chromedriver for selenium web driver on MAC and Windows.
In Selenium 2 we have not used any driver for Firefox but in Selenium 3 for every browser, we have to use third party driver which will perform our task.
Firefox with windows is quite easy where you have to download and mention the path but here we have small change so let’s get started with firefox on MAC.
Firefox browser on mac using Selenium webdriver
Step 1- Download gecko driver and unzip
Download link https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases
Step 2- Keep the drivers in /usr/local/bin directory.
Step 3- Write your test
Program for Firefox browser on mac using Selenium webdriver
| publicstaticvoidmain(String[]args)throwsInterruptedException{ WebDriver driver=newFirefoxDriver(); driver.manage().window().maximize(); driver.manage().timeouts().pageLoadTimeout(1,TimeUnit.SECONDS); driver.get('http://learn-automation.com/'); } } |
As you can see we have not set any property in our program to work with Firefox browser. It will take automatically and will start our execution.

Downloads > Version SelectionWe maintain multiple versions of ChromeDriver. Which version to select depends on the version of Chrome you are using it with. Specifically: - ChromeDriver uses the same version number scheme as Chrome. See https://www.chromium.org/developers/version-numbers for more details.
- Each version of ChromeDriver supports Chrome with matching major, minor, and build version numbers. For example, ChromeDriver 73.0.3683.20 supports all Chrome versions that start with 73.0.3683.
- Before a new major version of Chrome goes to Beta, a matching version of ChromeDriver will be released.
- After the initial release of a new major version, we will release patches as needed. These patches may or may not coincide with updates to Chrome.
Here are the steps to select the version of ChromeDriver to download: - First, find out which version of Chrome you are using. Let's say you have Chrome 72.0.3626.81.
- Take the Chrome version number, remove the last part, and append the result to URL 'https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/LATEST_RELEASE_'. For example, with Chrome version 72.0.3626.81, you'd get a URL 'https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/LATEST_RELEASE_72.0.3626'.
- Use the URL created in the last step to retrieve a small file containing the version of ChromeDriver to use. For example, the above URL will get your a file containing '72.0.3626.69'. (The actual number may change in the future, of course.)
- Use the version number retrieved from the previous step to construct the URL to download ChromeDriver. With version 72.0.3626.69, the URL would be 'https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html?path=72.0.3626.69/'.
- After the initial download, it is recommended that you occasionally go through the above process again to see if there are any bug fix releases.
We always provide ChromeDriver for the current Stable and Beta versions of Chrome. However, if you use Chrome from Dev or Canary channel, or build your own custom version of Chrome, It is possible that there is no available ChromeDriver that officially supports it. In this case, please try the following: - First, construct a LATEST_RELEASE URL using Chrome's major version number. For example, with Chrome version 73.0.3683.86, use URL 'https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/LATEST_RELEASE_73'. Try to download a small file from this URL. If it successful, the file contains the ChromeDriver version to use.
- If the above step failed, reduce the Chrome major version by 1 and try again. For example, with Chrome version 75.0.3745.4, use URL 'https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/LATEST_RELEASE_74' to download a small file, which contains the ChromeDriver version to use.
- You can also use ChromeDriver Canary build.
In addition, the version of ChromeDriver for the current stable release of Chrome can be found at https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/LATEST_RELEASE. However, using on this file may be less reliable than methods described above. |
