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.
