After breaking out the offending line userID = @@browser.cell(:xpath, "//[contains(text(),'#{@@uName}')]/../ td[1]").innerText
to a much smaller script, it worked in both browsers.. (the original script has 482 lines) So, I think the "UnknownObjectException" may be evidence the browser object got stale in the firefox world. Still worth a Jira report? MichaelT --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Watir General" group.
