So I thought if I post my experience it may help somebody. Below are the steps I followed to make Selenium RC working with Firefox 3 on Ubuntu.<br /><br />* Get latest Nightly built for Selenium from the link <a href="http://selenium-rc.openqa.org/download.html">here</a>.<br />* Follow the instructions <a href="http://selenium-rc.openqa.org/tutorial.html">here</a> to install Selenium Server and a Client. I use Perl so installed a perl client using CPAN like below:<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">% cpan<br /> cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v1.7601)<br /> ReadLine support enabled<br /> cpan> install Test::WWW::Selenium<br /></span><br /><br />* Now in order to use your perl script with Firefox3 following worded for me;<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">my $sel = Test::WWW::Selenium->new( host => "localhost",<br /> port => 4444,<br /> <span style="font-weight: bold;"> browser => "*custom /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.1/firefox -p selenium"</span>,<br /> browser_url => "http://change-this-to-the-site-you-are-testing/" );</span><br /><br />* <span style="font-style: italic;">"-p selenium"</span> option tells firefox to open "selenium" profile that I have created specifically for testing. if you need help with firefox profiles, <a href="http://www.borngeek.com/firefox/profile-tutorial/">here</a> is a great tutorial.<br /><br />* <span style="font-weight: bold;">NOTE:</span> The first time you may have to configure proxy of firefox browser to point 127.0.0.1:4444.<br /><br />Have Fun!!<br /><br /><a href="http://digg.com/"><br /><img src="http://digg.com/img/badges/100x20-digg-button.png" width="100" height="20" alt="Digg!" /><br /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7668604634819433877-2489055746383020736?l=selenium-firefox3.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Phoenixhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00275484813042790603noreply@blogger.com1
