Originally reported on Google Code with ID 7588

I was trying to automate mail sending in Microsoft Outlook/Hotmail, Firefox Webdriver
works fine till login after that its constantly throwing exception org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException:
Permission denied to access property '__qosId'. I tried clicking on other elements
but its throwing same exception. I clicked on compose (New) button using Jscript but
after that the same exception is thrown when i try to click other elements.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Just try simple mail read event in Microsoft Outlook/Hotmail

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It Should Click and execute without exceptions. 

Selenium version:2.42.0
Jave: 1.7

Note:- I tried with Firefox version 27,28 & 30. Initially i was trying with Firefox

Chrome are working fine with same code.
I have attached the Stack trace.

Any Workaround.. I am still stuck with the issue..

We're working on this. The problem is that the target site overrides standard functions
addEventListener and removeEventListener, and this causes collision with Selenium.
If web designers were not so careless...

There is a workaround: 1) use native events, 2) set off 'Qos':

    DesiredCapabilities caps = new DesiredCapabilities();
    // !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    caps.setCapability(CapabilityType.HAS_NATIVE_EVENTS, false);
    // !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    FirefoxDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(caps);
    driver.manage().window().maximize();
    driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

    driver.get("https://www.outlook.com");
    Thread.sleep(5000);
    driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[@id='idDiv_PWD_UsernameTb']//input")).sendKeys("barancev@outlook.com");
    Thread.sleep(1000);
    driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[@id='idDiv_PWD_PasswordTb']//input")).sendKeys("mic001ddd");
    Thread.sleep(1000);
    // Clicking On Login Button
    driver.findElement(By.id("idSIButton9")).click();
    Thread.sleep(30000);
    // From Here I am Getting Exception When I Try To Click Compose Button

    // !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    driver.executeScript("Qos.isEnabled = false;");
    // !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    // Clicking On Compose Button
    driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[@id='NewMessage']")).click(); 

It is unclear yet why it does not work with native events enabled.

Sorry for late reply, Still the same exception is thrown.. please explain the following
code
1)caps.setCapability(CapabilityType.HAS_NATIVE_EVENTS, false);
2)driver.executeScript("Qos.isEnabled = false;");
What these will do? And when i directly pasted the code it gave error the method is
undefined for type webdriver, for this line it gave error
driver.executeScript("Qos.isEnabled = false;");
So i edited it like this 
JavascriptExecutor executor = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
executor.executeScript("Qos.isEnabled = false;");
Is this the correct way? Thank You for your help.

Yes, it is correct.

Do you have "the same exception" on the same operation driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[@id='NewMessage']"))
or in another location?
