Which Firefox version is compatible with Selenium 2.53.0? I tried Firefox 45.0 and I am getting this exception:

org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: Failed to connect to binary           
FirefoxBinary(/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin) on   port 7055; process output follows:

  • I was using old version of selenium-firefox-driver in POM.xml, after changing it to 2.53.0, issue is fixed. – user16165 Apr 20 '16 at 14:51

I had the similar problem running Selenium Webdriver 2.53.0 with Firefox 47.0.

Selenium Webdriver 2.53.0 works with Firefox 46.0. You can find the the mentioned version at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-older-version-of-firefox.

    And here's the direct link to download Firefox 46.0 - [32-bit (en-us)](https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/46.0/win32/en-US/Firefox%20Setup%2046.0.exe) and [64-bit (en-us)](https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/46.0/win64/en-US/Firefox%20Setup%2046.0.exe) – publicgk Aug 05 '16 at 16:51

    Is there any page which says which version of driver is compatible with which version of firefox? This gets frustrating at times. – jacobcs Nov 04 '16 at 17:41
  • It would be nice if people would put the OS versions on these posts if possible. jacobcs is correct that the documentation on this stuff is AWFUL. Good luck getting Selenium/Ubuntu/FF working with the latest versions. Question? Do the people who work on Selenium even know how to turn it on? Is is a secret? – Jim Maguire Feb 13 '17 at 14:13

Also you could try to add:

System.setProperty("webdriver.firefox.bin","C:\\Users\\AppData\\Local\\Mozilla Firefox\\firefox.exe");
WebDriver driver=new  FirefoxDriver();

if it is also not working, then you need to downgrade your FF
