Description

The current version of Selenium only works with older browsers. Selenium 2.3.1 is almost a drop in replacement and will allow tests to be run with Firefox 5. At least on my setup, Selenium 2.3.1 is not significantly slower and is sometimes faster than the current version. Below are the test times running on Ubuntu 11.04.

Firefox 5:

5.3 Selenium 2 & Gradle
6:47
6:42
Using Firefox 3.6:

5.2.6 Selenium 1 & Maven
6:14

5.3 with Selenium 1 & Gradle
7:05
7:14

5.3 Selenium 2 & Gradle
7:26
8:01
