How to prevent logging for FirefoxDriver?

Question

I have WebDriver 2.41 and Firefox 28 and when my test creates instance of FirefoxDriver I see the following strings in console:

*** LOG addons.manager: Application has been upgraded
*** LOG addons.xpi: startup
*** LOG addons.xpi: Skipping unavailable install location app-system-local
*** LOG addons.xpi: Skipping unavailable install location app-system-share
*** LOG addons.xpi: checkForChanges 
.................

How I can turn off this logging?

Answer 1

Your Firefox version is upgraded which is not supported by Selenium. So downgrade to version 28. It will work fine.

You can download the required version of firefox from here:

To stop updating the firefox automatically, uninstall the Mozilla Maintenance Service ( in Windows) & in Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Updates Tab, disable 'updates checking for addons & firefox'

Best,
