Selenium: FirefoxProfile exception Can’t load the profile

Update:

Selenium team fixed in latest version. For almost all environments the fix is:

pip install -U selenium

Unclear at which version it was fixed (apparently r13122), but certainly by 2.26.0 (current at time of update) it is fixed.


This error means that _wait_until_connectable is timing out, because for some reason, the code cannot connect to the webdriver extension that has been loaded into the firefox.

I have just reported an error to selenium where I am getting this error because I’m trying to use a proxy and only 2 of the 4 configured changes in the profile have been accepted by firefox, so the proxy isn’t configured to talk to the extension. Not sure why this is happening…
