Firefox ESR for Selenium

Firefox ESR For Selenium

Firefox

One thing to note for Selenium is it is sometimes behind Firefox releases. So I recommend installing the Firefox Extended Support Release. To download this go to : https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/

After downloading the installer, you will have to extract it

sudo tar -xvjf firefox-*.*.*esr.tar.bz2 -C /opt

Next is to back up your existing Firefox

sudo mv /usr/bin/firefox /usr/bin/firefox-old

Next is to link the new Firefox ESR

sudo ln -s /opt/firefox/firefox /usr/bin/firefox 

For the first time you run, execute

gksudo firefox
