Firefox below 23 won't start

[konflic]

I follow the browser update instructions.

1. Pull image for example selenoid/vnc:firefox_10.0
2. Reload selenoid
3. Try to create manual session from selenoid-ui

/session request gives me Location: http://localhost/wd/hub/session/ But the request to this url fails.

Logs for firefox container:

@konflic what is your Selenium client version? According to this table https://aerokube.com/selenoid/latest/#_firefox_2 such old versions will only work with Java client.

Hi, thanks for your quick reply. I'm using docker containers and never install something additionaly. If I get you correctly those images (below 23) won't work without some additional configuration? My guess was that everything is already inside the image like with other ff versions.

@konflic the problem is in your Selenium client library compatibility with such old images. In such old Firefox versions Selenium was using completely different session initialization logic and so not all client libraries used in tests are able to deal with such old protocol. According to our tests only Java client is able to do this.

I did not try to run any tests with this, I was trying to start a manual session with vnc from selenoid-ui. That should not be possible either?

[vania-pooh]

@konflic I think currently this will not work as client library used there is too new.

I see, so this is a valid issue or wont be fixed? Not the way I strongly need to use ff below 23, just for finalization.

@konflic I would say won't fix has more chances.
