Hi Team, 

I have been trying to use Firefox browser from ZAP tool, the tool is throwing "Browser Not Found" error always. I confirm that the specified browser is already available in the machine and its working fine (highlighted the taskbar Icon)

Error Snapshot is attached to this mail

Regards,
RB

This FAQ has not helped me to resolve this. I tried to see logs in ZAP, could see below error.

2023-12-08 13:27:43,680 [ZAP-IO-Server-1-2531] WARN  HttpSenderHandler - Failed to read https://content-signature-2.cdn.mozilla.net/chains/normandy.content-signature.mozilla.org-2024-01-19-16-42-20.chain?cachebust=2017-06-13-21-06 within 20 seconds, check to see if the site is available and if so consider adjusting ZAP's read time out in the Connection options panel.

ZAP is tracking my API calls when running from Firefox. Unfortunately, I am not able to open Firefox browser 

ZAP version: 2.14
Firefox Version(Installed): Firefox 120.0.1 (20231129155202)

Regards,
RB

I dont think that warning is relevant, although it does seem to indicate that ZAP has succcessfully launched Firefox.
Are there any other errors in the zap.log file?

Cheers,

Simon

Can this help? 

[ZAP-BrowserLauncher] ERROR ExtensionQuickStartLaunch - Could not start a new session. Response code 500. Message: Expected browser binary location, but unable to find binary in default location, no 'moz:firefoxOptions.binary' capability provided, and no binary flag set on the command line

Yes, that looks like a problem.
Have you definitely configured the correct location for the Firefox binary?

I have now rechecked the path and confirm my path was incorrect in Selenium window (Add-on). I missed to keep the path till executable file i.e, .exe. I only placed till Firefox folder path 

ZAP can run firefox now. Thanks much
