Tellurium can not launch Firefox version 3.6.X

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. start the tellurium server with default profile available
2. run maven test

With Firefox 3.5.X version 
I can see the log will print to prepare profile then launch firefox and
then the test will pass. However, with Firefox 3.6.2, the firefox is not
launched at all and the stack trace is copied at the end.

Version I used is: Tellurium 0.6.0

console log for Tellurium server with stack trace is listed below:

My colleague also tried the latest version of selenium-server is 1.0.1-te2-RC1. 
 Not
working either

The custom selenium server in 0.6.0 does not support 3.6.2. You can simply 
unpack the
selenium-server.jar by running

jar xvf selenium-server.jar

find the install.rdf, update the version to 3.6 and then repack it. 

Here are more details.

You are welcome to post your questions to tellurium user groups so that we can 
get
back to you soon.
