Error message displayed as "org.openqa.selenium.firefox.NotConnectedException: Unable to connect to host 127.0.0.1 on port 7055 after 45000 ms"

Tried to resolve this issue, but couldn't. Can anyone help me over this?

Currently I am using firefox 46.01 and selenium jar file 2.53.

Answer 1

Check your Selenium Version and Your version of FireFox. I think that your current selenium version doesn't support at all that version of FireFox.

You should use a geckodriver with the newest version of Firefox. With earlier versions you had to install an addon, but geckodriver is a part of Marionette, which is developed by Mozilla, so no need for that.
