It uses GeckoDriver to drive the latest Firefox browsers.\r\n\r\nHowever, is there any implementation of Protractor to support the latest Selenium 3 and GeckoDriver driven tests to handle latest FF versions.\r\n\r\n[![enter image description here][1]][1]\r\n\r\n\r\nDoes Protractor tests are limited to FF45|FF46?\r\n\r\nWhen I launch `firefox 48.0.1` with `Selenium 2.53.1` through `browser.get(\"http://xyz.com\")`, the browser is opened as usual but not the url as shown below,\r\n\r\n      capabilities: {\r\n        browserName: 'firefox',\r\n      },\r\n\r\n[![enter image description here][2]][2]\r\n\r\n\r\n  [1]: http://i.stack.imgur.com/q5lU1.png\r\n  [2]: http://i.stack.imgur.com/EkqwV.png\r\n\r\n\r\nNote: As far as I know, the latest Firefox versions have inbuilt algorithms to handle GeckoDriver and selenium 3 APIs, cos, the FF terms are made strict to avoid external breaches. FF 47+ versions are Gecko-based browsers.\r\n\r\n> Prashanth Sams\r\n> The Author, Selenium Essentials"}}
