Failed to start new Firefox browser session #188

I get an error when I try to use the selenium-server.jar shipped with robotframework-seleniumlibrary 2.6. I've added C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox to my Path environment variable. My environment consists of Windows Vista Business 64-bit SP2, Python 2.7, Robot Framework 2.5.6, and Firefox 3.6.16. This error isn't encountered when I specify iexplore as the browser or when I use selenium-server-2.0a4.jar.

Failed to start new browser session: java.lang.RuntimeException: Firefox 3 could not be found in the path! Please add the directory containing ''firefox.exe'' to your PATH environment variable, or explicitly specify a path to Firefox 3 like this: *firefox3c:\blah\firefox.exe

First of all, could you test this with the latest SeleniumLibrary release?

If the problem still occurs, please answer these additional questions:

Tested with robotframework-seleniumlibrary-2.7.win32 and it's working.

Great that this works with 2.7! My guess is that the upgraded Selenium server fixed this problem. I guess I can mark this issue done.
