I am running into issues specifically Firefox driver crashing during automated tests (selenium). Some of the root causes seem to be pointing towards port clashes. But I do not want to tie myself to this reason alone as there are some convincing evidence that Firefox driver uses algorithm to avoid port clash.

I have the following error message on top of the stack trace "Failed to connect to binary FirefoxBinary(/tmp/browsers/firefox-release/firefox) on port 26732"

The frequency of the failure seem to be increasing with latest Firefox versions from 44.0 to 46.0. And a complete show stopper in 47.0.

Is support for selenium Firefox driver is dropped? And marionette is the way to go? Are lot of users concerned about something similar?

Also I would like to learn about firefox 47.0 and marionette compatibility..

I would like to stop writing code to diagnose, and pollute my infrastructure. Any help would be appreciated..

Thanks in advance

I did see a post a few weeks ago that selenium was mostly dropped and that you should switch to marionette, see the unresolved section in https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/47.0/releasenotes/

I am not sure if support will ever be fixed in the future, so that's probably your best long term bet.
