Hi, a. Your selenium-webdriver gem is 3 versions old (latest release is 2.10). If you update your browser and something is not working, making sure you have the latest selenium-webdriver gem is always a good first step.
b. The next version of the selenium-webdriver gem (2.12.0 since the Ruby bindings skipped the 2.11 release) will support Firefox 8. Should be released either today or tomorrow.
