Firefox hasn’t been working in my setup for a while now using WebUI tests, it was working up until around a month ago. I’ve made sure my Firefox drivers are up to date but when running a test script I get the following error:
Caused by: org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: Process unexpectedly closed with status signal
The scripts are working on all of my other browsers for Edge, Chrome and Safari. Anyone know of a solution?
kindly share full error trace
Hi @ed.lucas
it will be helpful to give a solution if you share the browser version, katalon studio version
and the exact error that you got in the logs Here.
Hi
Both versions are the latest at the time of this post. FF 122.01 and KS 8.6.8.
When I try to update my Firefox driver this is only finding an older version which I think is why this is happening but I’m not sure if others are having the same problem. This is the message while trying to update the driver:

This is the full error from the console, happens on any script. This is just a basic open and close test as an example.

After updating Chrome no longer works either.
Error I’m getting in the console after running any test:
It seems like your Chrome or Edge Chromium Webdriver is not up to date with your current browser. Please go to Tools > Update webdrivers to upgrade and try again
Any solution I can use for this?
Support for "Chrome for Testing" in Katalon Studio - #5 by kazurayam can you please check this once
Thanks, that post helped me resolve Chrome. but I’m still having issues using Firefox. I’m now getting a different error:
Caused by: org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: Cannot find firefox binary in PATH. Make sure firefox is installed. OS appears to be: MAC
I’ve reinstalled Firefox and made sure that the path is default yet katalon can’t seem to find it anymore. It was working several weeks ago and I haven’t changed my configuration since then so not sure what would be the cause. If anyone could help would be apreciated.
I got the same issue.

I noticed the following message:
Cannot find firefox binary in PATH. Make sure firefox is installed. OS appears to be: MAC
This error message implies that FirefoxDriver tried to find the firefox binary at a wrong place.
But, which path did it try? — I could not find the way in Katalon Studio how to let the geckodriver to show it to me runtime.
Alternatively I checked the official document of Firefox driver:
In the doc, I found this:
FirefoxDriver on Mac assumes the binary executable file of Firefox browser is named “firefox-bin” !
I don’t have the file named firefox-bin on my Mac. So the error occured.
I believe it is a mere bug of the geckodriver.
I modified my test case slightly to give the correct path of firefox browser:
import com.kms.katalon.core.webui.keyword.WebUiBuiltInKeywords as WebUI
System.setProperty("webdriver.firefox.bin", "/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox")
WebUI.openBrowser("https://katalon-demo-cura.herokuapp.com/")
WebUI.delay(1)
WebUI.closeBrowser()
This worked fine. The problem has been resolved.
I checked the release notes of FirefoxDriver at
This release note writes about v0.34.0
Fixed
- While searching for a default Firefox installation on the system, geckodriver used the
Contents/MacOS/firefox-binexecutable instead of the binary specified in the app bundle’sinfo.plistfile. This behavior resulted in a malfunction due to a regression in Firefox, particularly affecting the Firefox 121 release.
The release note wrote that it had FIXED the issue. But I do believe, the issue still remains unresolved in the v0.34.0 Firefox Driver. I am not going to dig into this any more as I am not really a FirefoxDriver user.
As I wrote above, I have found out the way to workaround the bug. So, I am fine.
Thanks for the workaround.
I’m finding that the latest firefox driver works on KS9 but not KS8.6.9 which I still use because of the custom keywords being a paid feature now in Version 9.
Hi there,
Thank you very much for your topic. Please note that it may take a little while before a member of our community or from Katalon team responds to you.
Thanks!
Are you satisfied with my method of workaround or not? Please close this topic if you are contented.
Do you want Katalon to do something for this issue yet? If so, you should state your requirement to Katalon clearly.
