ConnectionAbortedError: [WinError 10053] An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine with GeckoDriver and Firefox

Question

I'm using the below python script to login to Fedex tracking service

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from time import sleep
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get("https://www.fedex.com/apps/fedextracking/?cntry_code=us&locale=us_en#")
sleep(5)
users = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//div[@class='fxg-field'][1]/input[@class='fxg-field__input-text']")
users.send_keys('test')
passwords = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input[@id='pswd-input']")
passwords.send_keys('test')
sleep(3)
submit = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//button[@id='login']")
submit.click()

It is not showing exact error but showing these errors:

ConnectionAbortedError: [WinError 10053] An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine

It works smoothly on Google Chrome but not working with Firefox. Please help me fix this issue.

EDIT

Firefox version 57.0.4 (64-bit)

Selenium version 3.13.0

geckodriver 0.21.0

UPDATE

The problem is with this website only. I tried other tracking site and they all working with Firefox. This particular site is not working with Firefox.

Answer 1

Your code block was near perfect. I took your own code and made couple of tweaks which includes inducing WebDriverWait before invoking send_keys() on the USER ID field as follows:

• Code Block:

  from selenium import webdriver
  from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
  from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
  from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
  
  driver = webdriver.Firefox(executable_path=r'C:\Utility\BrowserDrivers\geckodriver.exe')
  driver.get("https://www.fedex.com/apps/fedextracking/?cntry_code=us&locale=us_en#")
  WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//input[@class='fxg-field__input-text' and @name='USER']"))).send_keys('test')
  driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input[@class='fxg-field__input-text' and @name='PASSWORD']").send_keys('test')
  driver.find_element_by_xpath("//button[@class='fxg-button fxg-button--orange' and @name='login']/span").click()
  

• Browser Snapshots:

  • USER ID and PASSWORD fields being filled up:

• Error due to wrong credentials:

Answer 2

It may be to do with your version of Firefox you're using. Check which Firefox browser versions are supported by selenium. https://www.seleniumhq.org/about/platforms.jsp.

Support for Firefox is the latest release, the previous release, the latest ESR release and the previous ESR release.

For example Selenium 2.40.0 (released on Feb 19, 2014) supports Firefox 27, 26, 24, 17

Selenium with Firefox can be run on any platform that Firefox supports for those versions, that also allow users to install a custom Firefox extension.

Answer 3

Inseted of using

driver.find_element_by_xpath("//div[@class='fxg-field'][1]/input[@class='fxg-field__input-text']") 

try with

driver.find_element_by_xpath(//input[@name="USER"])
