[wtr-general] the watir-webdriver scripts not running on firefox8: receiving "unable to obtain stable firefox connection in 60 seconds"

[Cristina Dumitrescu]

Hi,

I've update the firefox to the latest version ff8.

And I cannot run the scripts because I am receiving
Selenium::WebDriver::Error::WebDriverError: unable to obtain stable firefox
connection in 60 seconds (127.0.0.1:7055)

irb(main):002:0> browser = Watir::Browser.new:ff

connection in 60 seconds (127.0.0.1:7055)

Does anyone know how to fix that?

Best regards,
