When I click in a login page, a new tab is opened in FF. I don't know
how to get to it with selenium.

...
selenium_.click("//input[@value='Login']");
Thread.sleep(5000);
String[] wins = selenium_.getAllWindowNames();
for (String s : wins)
System.out.println("win: " + s);

Output: just the one window:

win: selenium_main_app_window

I notice that target=_blank:

<form name='loginform' target='_blank' action='xxx.php'
method=POST>

Not sure if that's a factor. Here's the server log:

11:58:58.513 INFO - Command request: click[//input[@value='Login'], ]

Hi All,

As Per my knowledge,we cant focus to new tab in firefox through selenium because selenium commands will execute only with in the tab where selenium base url opened.

Thanks
Santhosh.

What I do is create a separate firefox profile that always launches a
new window instead of a new tab.

You can find instructions here:

Thanks for the profile suggestion. I followed it, starting like this:

$ java -jar selenium-server.jar -firefoxProfileTemplate selenium_ff

also

$ java -jar selenium-server.jar -firefoxProfileTemplate C:/dev/java/
api_client/lib/selenium_ff

but still there is just the one window.

win: selenium_main_app_window

The log still doesn't say anything about starting a new window:

12:31:17.556 INFO - Command request: click[//input[@value='Login'], ]
on session b18b040392934c74a5df889180b41046
12:31:17.744 INFO - Got result: OK on session
b18b040392934c74a5df889180b41046
12:31:22.744 INFO - Command request: getAllWindowNames[, ] on session
b18b040392934c74a5df889180b41046

In the debug log, as before, there is an odd msg:

12:34:11.269 DEBUG [13] org.openqa.jetty.http.handler.ResourceHandler
- PATH=/driver/ RESOURCE=file:/C:/adbrite-dev/java/api_client/lib/
MISSING%20RESOURCE

This is with the new profile set as the default, e.g. when I start FF
manually from Start/Run, I see the profile selected and under Tools/
Options/Tabs that 'open new windows in a new tab instead' is
unchecked.

Does it matter if the new window is opened on a different url than the
login window (different host)?

Here's the log for launching - should it mention it's using a custom

Also verified that a manually-launched browser starts a new browser on
login.

I'm able to see both windows with Selenium 2:

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
selenium_ = new WebDriverBackedSelenium(driver, site);
...login...
for (String handle : driver.getWindowHandles())
System.out.println("win " + handle);

win {662ad6bf-c0e5-4f58-89fa-2d37ebc4898c}
win {6f3751a8-10b4-4847-ad55-eae959f65280}
