- Download Firefox For Selenium
Selenium WebDriver is the successor of Selenium Remote Control which has been officially deprecated. The Selenium Server (used by both WebDriver and Remote Control) now also includes built-in grid capabilities. To launch Firefox with Selenium Geckodriver, you will first need to download Geckodriver and then set its path. This can be done in two ways as depicted in the below image – Check if Firefox is 32-bit or 64-bit.
GitHub is home to over 40 million developers working together to host and review code, manage projects, and build software together.

Firefox driver is included in the selenium-server-stanalone.jar available in the downloads. The driver comes in the form of an xpi (firefox extension) which is added to the firefox profile when you start a new instance of FirefoxDriver.
Pros
- Runs in a real browser and supports Javascript
- Faster than the InternetExplorerDriver
Cons
- Slower than the HtmlUnitDriver
Important System Properties
The following system properties (read using System.getProperty() and set using System.setProperty() in Java code or the '-DpropertyName=value' command line flag) are used by the FirefoxDriver:
| Property | What it means |
|---|---|
| webdriver.firefox.bin | The location of the binary used to control firefox. |
| webdriver.firefox.marionette | Boolean value, if set on standalone-server will ignore any 'marionette' desired capability requested and force firefox to use GeckoDriver (true) or Legacy Firefox Driver (false) |
| webdriver.firefox.profile | The name of the profile to use when starting firefox. This defaults to webdriver creating an anonymous profile |
| webdriver.firefox.useExisting | Never use in production Use a running instance of firefox if one is present |
| webdriver.firefox.logfile | Log file to dump firefox stdout/stderr to |
Normally the Firefox binary is assumed to be in the default location for your particular operating system:
| OS | Expected Location of Firefox |
|---|---|
| Linux | firefox (found using 'which') |
| Mac | /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin |
| Windows | %PROGRAMFILES%Mozilla Firefoxfirefox.exe |
By default, the Firefox driver creates an anonymous profile
Running with firebug

The best approach for C# projects is to install the WebDriver NuGet, because if there are any updates it will be notified. Just install NuGet Manager and search for WebDriver.
After that just use the following code:
The FirefoxDriver is included in the NuGet. However, you need to download manually the ChromeDriver from here: https://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/ChromeDriver

You just need to include/import driver to your project if you want to use firefox unlike for CHROME you need to store the jar file or Exe to a particular location and then then you just need to call it in your project
