Issue: Mozilla open and nothing happens.Works fine if I use IE. I reinstalled Mozilla on machine.

Version Info:
Mozilla: 5.0
Selenium 2.2.0

Java Code
package com;


import org.junit.AfterClass;
import org.junit.BeforeClass;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.JavascriptExecutor;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
//import org.openqa.selenium.ie.InternetExplorerDriver;

public class ScrollWebpageWebDriver {
   
    //static WebDriver driver = new InternetExplorerDriver();
    static WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
   
    @BeforeClass
    public static void setUpBeforeClass() throws Exception {
        driver.get("http://www.facebook.com");
    }
    @AfterClass
    public static void tearDownAfterClass() throws Exception {
        driver.close();
    }
   
    @Test
    public void searchText(){
        driver.findElement(By.id("email")).sendKeys("***********@gmail.com");
        driver.findElement(By.id("pass")).sendKeys("************");
        driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@type='submit']")).submit();
        //System.out.println(driver.getTitle());
        JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
        System.out.println(js.executeScript("return document.title"));
    }   
}

Anybody??? I am still facing same issue.

Can you launch the firefox driver fine manually?

Did you try loading the default profile in firefox driver like below?
I am not sure if this will solve your issue. It seems machine specific
and perhaps ports related.

WebDriver driver=new FirefoxDriver(new
ProfilesIni().getProfile("default"));
