SeleniumLibrary 2.5 and newer automatically enable a CustomFirefoxProfile order to enable certain automation friendly settings. There was certain Firefox version related problems which are now fixed:

1) With Firefox 4 an add-on compatibility dialog appeared every time the browser was started. This dialog was dismissed automatically but it slowed down the browser start-up considerably.

2) In certain situations an additional blank window was opened on top of the opened Firefox window. This didn't affect the actual execution otherwise but seeing what happened was not possible and automatic screenshots weren't too helpful.
