Installing selenium ide

Selenium IDE is a Firefox plugin that can record and playback interactions with a browser. We use it to make it super easy to record the steps for your walkthrough.

1. Using Firefox, first, download the IDE from the SeleniumHQ downloads page.
2. Firefox will protect you from installing add-ons from unfamiliar locations, so you will need to click ‘Allow’ to proceed with the installation.
3. Select Install Now. The Firefox Add-ons window pops up, first showing a progress bar, and when the download is complete, asks you to restart Firefox.
4. Restart Firefox.
5. To run the Selenium-IDE, simply select it from the Firefox Tools menu. It opens with an empty script-editing window and a menu for loading, or creating new test cases.
