When my Automation scripts on firefox for some reason they fail randomly and this is the error

Any help would be highly appreciated

I've never seen this particular error, myself and I see nobody else
has responded so I'm guessing it's not happening for any other readers
on this list. I'd recommend trying the webdriver google group, since
that's where the problem seems to be coming from.

HTH,
