As we know, Selenium Webdriver 2.53.1
is limited to Firefox browser 45/46
and its below versions.
Selenium 3 was launched by removing entire Selenium RC Core
along with additional support on latest browsers recently. It uses GeckoDriver to drive the latest Firefox browsers.
However, is there any implementation of Protractor to support the latest Selenium 3 and GeckoDriver driven tests to handle latest FF versions.
Does Protractor tests are limited to FF45, FF46?
When I launch firefox 48.0.1
with Selenium 2.53.1
through browser.get("http://example.com")
, the browser is opened as usual but not the url as shown below,
capabilities: {
browserName: 'firefox',
},
Note: As far as I know, the latest Firefox versions have inbuilt algorithms to handle GeckoDriver and selenium 3 APIs, cos, the FF terms are made strict to avoid external breaches. FF 47+ versions are Gecko-based browsers.
