Question

I am getting this error

   Selenium::WebDriver::Error::WebDriverError:
   unable to obtain stable firefox connection in 60 seconds (127.0.0.1:7055)

Here is the list of my tests gems

capybara (2.1.0)

rspec-core (2.14.3)
rspec-expectations (2.14.0)
rspec-mocks (2.14.1)
rspec-rails (2.14.0)
selenium-webdriver (2.35.1)

My Firefox version is 29

When I downgraded my FF, it works fine.

Answer 1

I had the same issue and this works for me with Firefox version 28

In your Gemfile, replace the current version with

gem "selenium-webdriver", "~> 2.38.0"

Then run,

gem update selenium-webdriver

bundle install
