Selenium Webdriver and Firefox 18

Question

My Selenium tests use onMouseOver features like

 List<WebElement> menuitems = getDriver().findElements(By.tagName("li"));
    Actions builder = new Actions(getDriver());
    WebElement menu = menuitems.get(2);
    getDriver().manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(Constants.IMPLICITY_WAIT, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
    builder.moveToElement(menu).build().perform();

I'm using Firefox driver. Since Firefox updated itself to version 18, my tests stopped working. I know this has to do with native events support - but does not version 18 support native events, or am i able to enable them? If not, is there any replacing implementation to my code?

I'm using selenium java 2.28.0.

Answer 1

For Firefox 18 support we need use selenium webdriver api 2.28.0,jar.

Answer 2

Selenium Java 2.27 mentions that native support for FF17 has been added. However, there has been no mention of support for FF18 in the change logs for 2.28. So its webdriver not supporting native events and not FF18 not supporting native events. You can try downgrading to FF 17 and probably turn off automatic updates for some time.
