Selenium 2.0A1

[PerfectStorm]

I seem to be getting "Unable to find browser with id of null when I
open a new browser with firefox 3.5.5. It opens the browser but doesnt
navigate to the url it just throws this exception just curious if
anyone else sees this. I don't get it with ie.

[PerfectStorm]

UPDATE

It only happens when I pass in a profile. If I leave out the profile
it runs fine.

The stack trace would be a really useful debugging aid....

If you go to the running Firefox instance and look at the installed
extensions, which version of the webdriver extension are you using?
You can find out by going to "Tools -> Add-ons"

I finally uninstalled firefox and reinstalled it did not seem to work
when i only removed the extension. I am seeing another weird issue I
am navigating to an https site and it won't allow me to confirm an
exception and move on. I can get it to work if I remove firefox driver
extension.

Hi,

The WebDriver extension attempts to handle untrusted SSL certificates itself, which is why you may not be able to change it manually. You could set the FirefoxProfile not to allow untrusted SSL certificates and add this exception yourself. Can you specify the reason this SSL certificate is invalid? (has it expired, does the domain name not match, etc).

Your suggestion worked. When I set the profile to accept certificates
to false I was able to bypass the certificate error manually. The
domain has an invalid security certificate(SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN).

Do I need to add a defect for this?

"if you remove the firefox extension"? You really shouldn't be
installing that extension yourself because we change the wire protocol
and implementation on a regular basis. For the record, webdriver
handles setting up the extension itself, and has done for a long time
now.

So, again, which version of the firefox extension does Firefox think
is installed? If it's not version "2.0a1" then you're heading down the
wrong path.

It was saying it was 2.0a1 but I was still getting the error. I
reinstalled firefox without extensions and ran webdriver to install it
again and it fixed it. I did not attempt to install it myself.

OK, that's cool :) You had me worried there for a minute!
