What are the steps that you have taken to install the framework? Have you taken a look at the installation instructions: code.google.com/p/robotframework/wiki/Installation - janne
Don't expect to get much help if all you say is "it doesn't work". You need to supply an exact error message that you are seeing, if possible. I can confirm that at the time I write this, robot runs just fine on OSX Lion. - Bryan Oakley

I'm looking at a similar set up on Linux (Fedora 15).

I think that at the time of writing, robotframework's seleniumlibrary does not support Firefox 9. Looking at the source, I think that the java code is waiting for a file called extensions.ini in the custom profile directory, whereas ff9 puts the extensions into a directory called extensions.

I suggest that you try an earlier version of ff.

To address the points made by others, you're going to need to post log output and possibly use the -log flag to seleniumserver (eg when you launch the selenium server, java -jar -log wibble)
