2.2 Comparison table between geckodriver and browser versions

Selenium2 can support Firefox browser without installing driver

Install the corresponding version of Firefox according to the version of Selenium2 to be compatible. If the version of selenium2 is not compatible with firefox, you need to upgrade the selenium jar package or upgrade firefox.

Remember: Turn off the upgrade function of forefox, otherwise even the scripts on local Windows will not be able to run, and firefox must be downgraded. After the upgrade, the selenium script starts firefox normally.

  【Selenium】    ->  【FireFox】
   2.25.0        ->      18
   2.30.0        ->      19
   2.31.0        ->      20
   2.42.2        ->      29
   2.44.0        ->      33 (不支持31,2014/12/1)
   2.53.0        ->      43，46（不支持47）
   2.41.0        ->      26(绿色版本）
   2.44          ->      32.0-35.0
   2.53.0-2.53.6 ->      40.0.3

The download address of each firefox version
is http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/

The download address of each selenium jar package
is http://selenium-release.storage.googleapis.com/index.html

On the selenium download page: http://www.seleniumhq.org/download/ (FQ required) In the changelog of each version, the supported firefox version will be recorded.
Note: selenium V3.0 did not support firefox47.0 before. So, if If you have seleniumV3.0 and previous versions, do not download ff47.0 and versions after ff47.0.

Selenium3 does not support Firefox forward

There will be problems when running Firefox v47 and later versions directly. To use versions after 47.0, you need to upgrade Selenium to 3.x and install the corresponding version of the Firefox driver plug-in: geckodriver.exe

Various versions of geckodriver: https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases

From the release notes of version 0.19.0, we can see that the recommended versions are: selenium3.5 or above, Firefox55 or above

2.3. Check the Firefox browser version

3. IE browser

3.1 IE browser driver download path

http://selenium-release.storage.googleapis.com/index.html

3.2 IEDriverServer and browser version comparison table

The version number of IEDriverServer is usually chosen to be consistent with the version number of Selenium.
Usually choose the 32-bit version of the driver. Using the 64-bit version of the driver will run much slower (personal experience).
