I upgraded firefox to 26 which gave org.openqa.selenium.firefox.NotConnectedException:

Unable to connect to host 127.0.0.1 on port 7055 after 45000 ms. Firefox console output: * LOG addons.manager: Application has been upgraded

then I upgraded the webdriver to 2.39 which supports firefox 26... but still its not working.. OS is win 7

Exception is:

org.openqa.selenium.firefox.NotConnectedException: Unable to connect to host 127.0.0.1 on port 7055 after 45000 ms. Firefox console output:

I had exactly the same error on Win7, upgrading to 2.39 worked for me

<seleniumVersion>2.39.0</seleniumVersion>

I would just ensure that 2.39.0 version is actually being used (check the logs), maybe a maven clean install is required?

I had the exact same problem (also win 7), for me upgrading to selenium-server-standalone-2.39.0 worked fine though.

Maybe you forgot to import the new jar in your project? Just looking at the obvious stupid mistakes someone can make...

Incorrect verion of xml-api through Maven dependency seems to prevent Firefox from starting (no error message either). In my case, hibernate-entity-manager-4.3.8 -> dom4j-1.6.1 -> xml-api-1.0.b2 caused the issue. Excluding it as below lets me use xml-api-1.4.01 from xercesImpl-2.11 dependency chain. I used Firefox version 36.0.4 and WebDriver 2.45.0.

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
    <artifactId>hibernate-entitymanager</artifactId>
    <version>4.3.8.Final</version>
    <exclusions>
        <exclusion>
            <groupId>xml-apis</groupId>
            <artifactId>xml-apis</artifactId>
        </exclusion>
    </exclusions>
</dependency>
