Script stoped working after upgrading Firefox 36.0

[Manuel Gonzalez]

After upgrading to Firefox 36.0 I get this:

>>> from selenium import webdriver
>>> from selenium.webdriver.firefox.firefox_binary import FirefoxBinary
>>> binary = FirefoxBinary("/usr/bin/firefox")
>>> driver = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_binary=binary)

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#3>", line 1, in <module>
    driver = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_binary=binary)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/firefox/webdriver.py", line 59, in __init__
    self.binary, timeout),
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/firefox/extension_connection.py", line 47, in __init__
    self.binary.launch_browser(self.profile)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/firefox/firefox_binary.py", line 66, in launch_browser
    self._wait_until_connectable()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/firefox/firefox_binary.py", line 105, in _wait_until_connectable
    raise WebDriverException("Can't load the profile. Profile "
WebDriverException: Message: Can't load the profile. Profile Dir: %s If you specified a log_file in the FirefoxBinary constructor, check it for details.

NOTE: Using Python and linux.

Firefox windows opens but nothing more.

I believe you should wait for the 2.45.0 release. 2.44.0 doesn't support Firefox 36.

Even for me also after upgrade it is not working....

Rollback to Firefox 35.0 and see if it works again. There is some issue with Firefox 36.0 and Selenium 2.44.0. See https://code.google.com/p/selenium/issues/detail?id=8399
