What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Save the below sample script to a file (Say, demo.rb) and run the sample script.

require "selenium-webdriver"
driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for :firefox
driver.navigate.to "http://google.com"
element = driver.find_element(:name, 'q')
element.send_keys "Hello WebDriver!"
element.submit
puts driver.title
driver.quit

2. Observe the console/terminal/command prompt logs.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

*Expected output*
The FF browser instance should launch and after that it should hit the URL "http://google.com"

*Actual Result*
The FF browser instance is launching and it is not hitting the url due to which the
further execution of script is failing.

Selenium version: Selenium-Webdriver(2.42.0)
OS: Windows 8 (32 bit)
Browser: Firefox 
Browser version: 32.0

*Note*
Ruby Bersion : 2.0.0
Please provide any additional information below. A sample reduced test
case, or a public URL that demonstrates the problem will intrigue our merry
band of Open Source developers far more than nothing at all: they'll be far
more likely to look at your problem if you make it easy for them!
