Did you check the zap.log? That would contain useful info to potential
address the issue.

Best regards.

"Expected browser binary location, but unable to find binary in default location"

That seems fairly clear.

You can configure the browser binary locations via Options / Selenium : https://www.zaproxy.org/docs/desktop/addons/selenium/options/

hi simon

I'm glad to receive your reply, but my problem is still not solved. How should I set the binary file path? 

Thanks,

[shangqi shen]

I'm not sure if the problem lies here, please help me, thank you very much.

Its looks like you've selected a directory not a binary.

I would expect it to be something like: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\Firefox.exe"

Cheers,

Simon

After I tried resetting the path, the problem still exists. How should I solve it? Thank you very much for your reply! !

It will be the same problem as before.

Check the path it right.

Check the exe is actually there

Is it because the software does not support Windows 11 system? There is no error in my path setting, and firefox.exe also exists in the folder.

[Simon Bennetts]

ZAP runs fine on Windows 11.

Can you post the latest error you are getting in full.

Also, what happens if you run "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" from the command line?
