title: unable to obtain stable firefox connection in 60 seconds (127.0.0.1:7055) Windows 7 / Firefox 22
body: <p>System:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Windows 7 Professional 64-bit  </li>
  <li>Firefox 22.0</li>
  <li>Ruby 1.9.3p392 (2013-02-22) [i386-mingw32]</li>
  <li>selenium-webdriver (2.33.0)</li>
  <li>watir (4.0.2)</li>
  <li>watir-webdriver (0.6.2)</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I have seen that this question has been asked on numerous occasions before. After a couple of hours trying the suggested solutions, I am still getting nowhere. The command launches an instance of Firefox displaying a blank page and then errors out:</p>
  
  <pre><code>irb(main):001:0&gt; require 'watir-webdriver'
  =&gt; true
  irb(main):002:0&gt; browser = Watir::Browser.new :firefox
  </code></pre>
