Webdriver opens but don't put the URL

System

• Version: 0.24.0
• Platform: Linux - Ubuntu
• Selenium: selenium-3.141.0

I'm trying to run a test that I did a fill tomes ago and the Firefox opens, but doesn't put the URL I want. How can I fix this? I already tried to update selenium and the geckodriver, but nothing yey.

Could you please attach a trace-level log from geckodriver? Read more about reporting actionable bugs in our contribution guidelines.

Here it is. I thought I was using the last version, but it's 0.20.1.

It looks like the geckodriver you’re using is incompatible with the version of Firefox you’re using it with. Please check the support matrix in the documentation.

If you’re on geckodriver 0.20.1, it’s only compatible with Firefoxen 55 <=> 62. This is also highlighted in the release notes for later versions.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you’re able to resolve the problem.

For what it’s worth, we have https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1481444 on file to make geckodriver give a more useful error message when it tries to connect to a Firefox it doesn’t support.

@andreastt it worked! I installed the version 62 of firefox. Thanks!

@gabrielgambarra you should better upgrade geckodriver and Firefox to the latest releases instead of running tests with outdated and no longer maintained releases.
