Has somebody the same problem and maybe a solution? or should I just downgrade Firefox?

Forget to say that iam working with Selenium WebDriver.

Thanks for answering.

Answer 1

https://www.katalon.com might be a good alternative. It's free, but not Open Source. But it is not compatible to Selenium, i.e. test cases created with Selenium IDE cannot run with Katalon.

Answer 2

Katalon is a very good choice. If you want more alternatives, as said in Top 3 Selenium IDE alternatives for Firefox & Chrome, look into those:

1. Katalon Recorder with Firefox addon or Chrome addon
2. Protractor, you can use protractor recorder npm package
3. Robot Framework (only supporting Chrome addon by now)
