TroubleShooting
If you can't get FireWatir to work, you can try these recommendations.
1. Restart Firefox using -jssh option.
After installing the XPI for JSSh make sure that you restart FireFox. JSSh extension will not be visible in the extensions windows. You should restart Firefox using '-jssh' option.
For e.g.:
"C:\Program Files\Firefox\firefox.exe -jssh".
2. Ensure JSSh is installed using Telnet.
Check if JSSh is installed correctly by connecting to port 9997 using Telnet.
If using telnet on same machine as firefox:
telnet localhost 9997
If using telnet from a different machine:
telnet testhost 9997
where testhost is the hostname of the remote machine on which FireFox is running.
3. Change Firefox Pop-up Blocker Settings
If the "attach_to_new_window_test.rb" unit test fails then make sure your Firefox settings are correct.
