Mozilla Firefox 68.2.0esr browser is crashing using GeckoDriver and Selenium

问题

I was trying to launch Firefox browser through selenium, but unfortunately browser is getting closed immediately after it launches. I couldn't interpret from the log file.

Here are the log file entries:

Here are the versions of Browser/libraries:

Firefox version: 68.2.0esr
Geckodriver version: 0.24
Selenium version: 3.141.59

I have tried with different versions of Gecko driver and Selenium, but nothing worked. Please let me know any solution for this.

This error message...

.
A content process crashed and MOZ_CRASHREPORTER_SHUTDOWN is set, shutting down

...implies that a content process crashed while creating the session and there was a kernel panic.

Deep dive

A bit of more information with respect to your code trials and Trace level logs would have helped us to analyze the issue in a better way. However, this issue was earlier observed with 4.9.x kernels. At times this issue was also observed with corrupted urandom / random

However, it seems your main issue is the incompatibility between the version of the binaries you are using as follows:

You are using GeckoDriver v0.24.0 of Jan 29, 2019, which is more then a year older.
You are using Firefox v68.2.0esr.
Your JDK version is unknown to us.

As per the documentation in Supported platforms there seems to be some mismatch among the binaries as Firefoxen section mentions:

Support is best in Firefox 57 and greater, although generally the more recent the Firefox version, the better the experience as they have more bug fixes and features. Some features will only be available in the most recent Firefox versions, and we strongly advise using the latest Firefox Nightly with geckodriver. Since Windows XP support in Firefox was dropped with Firefox 53, we do not support this platform.

Note: Starting with the 0.26.0 release geckodriver is able to connect to Android devices, and to control packages which are based on GeckoView (eg. Firefox Preview aka Fenix, or Firefox Reality). But it also still supports versions of Fennec up to 68 ESR, which is the last officially supported release from Mozilla.

Solution

Ensure that:

JDK is upgraded to current levels JDK 8u341.
Selenium is upgraded to current levels Version 3.141.59.
GeckoDriver is upgraded to GeckoDriver v0.26.0 level.
Firefox is upgraded to current Firefox v72.0 levels.
GeckoDriver is present in the desired location.
GeckoDriver is having executable permission for non-root users.
If your base Web Client version is too old, then uninstall it through Revo Uninstaller and install a recent GA and released version of Web Client.
Take a System Reboot.
Execute your Test as a non-root user.
Always invoke driver.quit() within tearDown(){} method to close & destroy the WebDriver and Web Client instances gracefully.
