Error when I try to go on my localhost page with Firefox since I downgrade Selenium to 2.53.1

Question

Hi I need a little help, I'm working with selenium 3.0.1. However, I need to change to 2.53.1 because Actions (moveto and doubleclick) are not implemented yet for Firefox.

I was able to have the firefox webdriver for selenium 3.0.1. Since I downgrade it, I cannot run Firefox (chrome and IE are good!).

My code is :

DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.setPlatform(Platform.WIN10);
switch (browserType){
   case Firefox:
            FirefoxDriverManager.getInstance().setup();
            //capabilities.setCapability("marionette", true); 
            capabilities.setBrowserName("firefox");
            capabilities.setVersion("46");

            ProfilesIni profile = new ProfilesIni();
            FirefoxProfile ffProfile = profile.getProfile("default");
            //accept the certificate
            ffProfile.setAcceptUntrustedCertificates(true);
            ffProfile.setAssumeUntrustedCertificateIssuer(false);
            capabilities.setCapability(FirefoxDriver.PROFILE, ffProfile);
            WebDriver  webDriver = new FirefoxDriver(capabilities);

            break;
  //... case for Chrome and IE
}
webDriver.manage().window().maximize();
webDriver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(20, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

The error is :

org.openqa.selenium.firefox.NotConnectedException: Unable to connect to host 127.0.0.1 on port 7055 after 45000 ms. Firefox console output:

Seems to be a compatibility issue... but I didn't find out yet.

Thanks

EDIT : I'm using this to load the webdriver : https://github.com/bonigarcia/webdrivermanager

So I see you are asking for version 46 but are you sure your browser didnt update past 46?

Selenium 2.53.1 does not work with versions of FF greater than 46.
