set timeout for web page load for firefox?

Operating system :
.Net Framework version :
Office Version :
SeleniumWrapper version :

What is your issue ?
I use "selenium.Open" to open a web page for firefox but the page is loading 
infinitely. How can set a timeout command for "selenium.Open" so that it can 
proceed to next command?

To set the timeout and skip the exception when the timeout is reached:
 Dim wd as New SeleniumWrapper.WebDriver
 wd.start "firefox", "http://www..."
 wd.setTimeout 4000 'Sets a 4s  timeout
 On Error Resume Next
 wd.open "/"
 On Error Goto 0

Or you could block the urls responsible for the hanging with an url blocker 
like PeerBlock.

The open command now integrates an optional timeout and raise option:
Dim wd as New SeleniumWrapper.WebDriver
wd.start "firefox", "http://www...
wd.open "/", 5000, false     'Sets a 5s timeout to load the page and returns 
false without throwing an error in case of timeout. Returns true if the page 
was successfully loaded.
