The newest version of selenium-webdriver might not work as expected with Firefox' newest version.

In July 2016 for example, selenium-webdriver 2.53 does not work with Firefox 47.1

So you have to ensure a working combination of Firefox and selenium-webdriver versions. LinuxCompetenceCenter/mediawiki-vagrant currently installs:

• selenium-webdriver 2.53.4 alongside
• Firefox 45.0.2

You can check the versions installed by

• [email protected]:/vagrant/mediawiki/tests/browser$ firefox -v for Firefox' version installed
• [email protected]:/vagrant/mediawiki/tests/browser$ bundle show which reveals selenium-webdriver's version as used by the corresponding test execution scripts
