can't start Firefox 3 browser session ==> FF 3.6.4
--------------------------------------------------

Key: SRC-839
URL: http://jira.openqa.org/browse/SRC-839
Project: Selenium Remote Control
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Launcher - Firefox
Affects Versions: 1.0 beta 1
Environment: Windows XP Pro SP 3 (german), java build 1.6.0_06-b02
Reporter: Rasatavohary
Assignee: Patrick Lightbody
Priority: Major
Fix For: 1.0

See http://clearspace.openqa.org/thread/14487. When starting RC in interactive mode like described in the tutorial, RC can't start a FF3 browser session. Root Exception seems to be:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Firefox refused shutdown while preparing a profile

and

Caused by: org.openqa.selenium.server.browserlaunchers.FirefoxCustomProfileLauncher$FileLockRemainedException: Lock file still present! C:\DOKUME~1\ssc\LOKALE~1\Temp\customProfileDir98367f6f09a64844ab44af9895d6ffee\parent.lock

(I will attach server.log with the complete logging)

A firefox.exe process is startet, which keeps a lock on parent.lock. When manually killing firefox.exe, the session gets startet.

I tried the same with nightly build selenium-remote-control-1.0-20080626.090504-453-dist.zip and have this exception:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Timed out waiting for profile to be created!

(see server-SNAPSHOT.log) This time there's no firefox.exe keeping a lock on any file, but the profiles directory content seems to be incomplete.

Rasatavohary commented on SRC-839:
----------------------------------

This referes to jira SEL-668 and SRC-494.

The clue is described above :
{quote}*When selenium prepares profiles the Firefox process* that prepares *{color:red}the process does not always terminate* before selenium launches Firefox{color}. This gives the "browser is running but not responding" error message. I would imagine this is because the newly created profile is still locked from the process that created it.

This problem is intermittent but makes doing overnight test runs extremely problematic. I do see this on Firefox 2, but rarely compared to Firefox 3. {quote}

The log is here:
