title: Selenium WebDriver - FirefoxDriver error: Failed to start up socket within 45000
body: <p>I'm getting this error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>tests.IntegrationTests.Selenium.RegisterAndLogin (TestFixtureSetUp):
  SetUp : OpenQA.Selenium.WebDriverException : Failed to start up socket within 45000
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>when I carry out the following in my code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>using System;
  using System.Text;
  using NUnit.Framework;
  using OpenQA.Selenium.Firefox;
  using OpenQA.Selenium;
  
  namespace ekmProspector.tests.IntegrationTests.Selenium
  {
      [TestFixture]
      public class RegisterAndLogin
      {
          private IWebDriver driver;   
  
          [TestFixtureSetUp]
          public void Init()
          {            
  
              driver = new FirefoxDriver();
          }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Can't get much simpler really, but the error is fatal. Any ideas?</p>
