Start Firefox browser on MAC using Selenium webdriver

03 Sep

To start Firefox browser on MAC using Selenium webdriver we have to use gecko driver which will interact with Firefox browser.In the previous post, we have already discussed how to work with Chrome on MAC using Selenium.

In Selenium 2 we have not used any driver for Firefox but in Selenium 3 for every browser, we have to use third party driver which will perform our task.

Firefox with windows is quite easy where you have to download and mention the path but here we have small change so let’s get started with firefox on MAC.

Firefox browser on mac using Selenium webdriver

Step 1- Download gecko driver and unzip

Download link  https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases

Step 2- Keep the drivers in /usr/local/bin directory.

Step 3- Write your test

Program for Firefox browser on mac using Selenium webdriver

import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;



public class HandleDropDown3 {



   public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {

       WebDriver driver=new FirefoxDriver();

       driver.manage().window().maximize();

       driver.manage().timeouts().pageLoadTimeout(1, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

       driver.get("https://vistasadprojects.com/mukeshotwani-blogs-v2/");

   }

}

As you can see we have not set any property in our program to work with Firefox browser. It will take automatically and will start our execution.
