I'm trying to test a Java web app using Selenium 2.16.1. When Selenium opens Firefox, I see a band at the top of the page with message "Will you help improve Mozilla Firefox"
For some reason this breaks
selenium.click("id=submit");
selenium.waitForPageToLoad("60000");
which is trying to log in - it becomes a no-op, and the test fails because it's then expecting to have logged in. If I break on the click line and clear the 'will you help' band before continuing then the form submit succeeds.
Is there a way to suppress this band from appearing? (I expect that would mean setting a property in Firefox's default profile - where do I find that?) Or is there a way to get Selenium to spot and dismiss this first? Thanks! I'm using Firefox 9.0.1.
Solved - thanks Danny! Just in case it isn't clear from the answers and comments below:
This was an issue with 2.16.1 and IMO the best solution is to upgrade to 2.17 or later.
