Running Selenium 1.0-beta-1 with Firefox 3 under Mac OS X

This morning, I set out to get selenium working on my Mac. It didn’t work right out of the box, so here is what I did to get it working

<p>Selenium won&#8217;t work with firefox 3 without some configuration.  It is actually hardcoded to firefox 2.  So I&#8217;ve updated the configuration to work with firefox 3.0.x, and created a new <a href="http://smartic.us/assets/2008/11/25/selenium-server.jar">jar</a> to assist anyone who is going down this path.  If you are working with ruby and have the Selenium gem installed, you can replace $GEMHOME/gems/Selenium-1.1.14/lib/selenium/openqa/selenium-server.jar.txt with this jar.  After that, everything should run great for you.</p>


<p>Keep in mind that you&#8217;ll have to make some changes to the path if you are running a newer version of the Selenium gem.  Let me know if you run into anything else.</p>
