Description

« Hide

Selenium Server doesn't open Firefox with the new profile successfully unless the -no-remote argument is supplied.
This may depend on whether other Firefox instances are open with different profiles, and whether they are run with no-remote
firefox -help gives:
-no-remote Open new instance, not a new window in running instance.

I'll attach a patch to include this

Attached Stub C program I'm using to work around this by adding the -no-remote into the instruction without having to recompile selenium (just for reference)

Applying this patch would mean that we assume that everyone uses a multi-profile setup - is this the case? What are the benefits / drawbacks? More information is needed.
