Environment:
=
Firefox version: 48 OS: Windows 10 64-bit FirefoxDriver version: geckodriver-v0.11.1-win64 Selenium Version: 3.0.1 Java Version: 1.8.0
Description:
==
An automation script written using Selenium WebDriver, Java could not find an element on a web page. FirefoxDriver fails to identify "Start Book Creator" button on https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Book&bookcmd=book_creator&referer=Main+Page.
The following source code fails to identify, while ChromeDriver works perfectly.

Steps to reproduce:
====
1. Launch "Eclipse" 2. Create a Java Project 3. Add external JARs to project i.e., selenium-server-standalone-3.0.1.jar, client-combined-3.0.1-nodeps.jar 4. Enable TestNG in eclipse, by installing TestNG from Help -> Install new software. 5. Create new Java file in the project and paste the above source code. 6. Run -> Run as -> TestNG Test
Expected behavior:
====
Should launch the browser, and perform all the tasks in the source code.
Actual behavior:
==
Line 97 of the code i.e., driver.findElement(By.linkText("Create a book")).click(); fails to identify the element on the page. But, this code when customized for ChromeDriver runs perfectly.
