Quick Launch Stopped Working with FireFox 63.0 Upgrade

[David Sims]

Hi,

I started getting the error below when launching FireFox using "Quick Launch" 

This issue started when FireFox automatically upgraded to version 63.0.

When I rolled back to FireFox 61.0.2 this was no longer an issue.

I tried changing many properties in ZAP and FireFox 63.0, but could not get the browser working using selenium.

I am good with the work-around of running old version of FireFox for now. I had this problem on 2 laptops. Wondering if anybody else has this same problem?

Currently running Windows 10 and OWASP ZAP 2.7.0

Hi.

It needs a newer version (>= 0.21.0) of geckodriver:
https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases/

once downloaded it can be specified through the Selenium options panel:
https://github.com/zaproxy/zap-core-help/wiki/HelpAddonsSeleniumOptions

Alternatively you can use a weekly release [1] which already bundles a
newer geckodriver version. We'll release newer versions of WebDrivers
add-ons to work on 2.7.0 as well.

Best regards.
