Hi I use selenium webdriver using python API in headless mode. I use firefox browser for my testing on linux. I have framework where a server executes GUI tests + other tests (without selenium)

It is observed that for all firefox actions done during testing are written to gconfd/saved_state. Moreover to do so, gnome is taking most of CPU's usage not giving time to other scripts. It is observed that gnome is utilizing most of CPU's time even after gui scripts.

So is there a way to prevent firefox from using gconfd or reduce the excess writing to gconfd/saved_state file?

?" try uninstalling the "mozilla-firefox-gnome-support" package, if you have it, and if you don't care about the Gnome functionality."? Reference: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=251791

You may also want to ask in the selenium forums for a more specialized answer ;-)
