0.33.0 (2023-04-03, a80e5fd61076)

Known problems

• Startup hang with Firefox running in a container (e.g. snap, flatpak):

  When Firefox is packaged inside a container (like the default Firefox browser
  shipped with Ubuntu 22.04), it may see a different filesystem to the host.
  This can affect access to the generated profile directory, which may result
  in a hang when starting Firefox. Workarounds are listed in the geckodriver
  usage documentation.

• Potential hang with moz:debuggerAddress capability set to true:

  After enabling the site-isolation feature in Firefox with geckodriver 0.32.1
  some WebDriver clients like Selenium that use the Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP)
  by default for logging events could trigger a hang in Firefox's experimental CDP
  implementation. The fix for this problem will be shipped with Firefox 112.
  Until then the following Firefox preferences should be set:

  • fission.bfcacheInParent: false
  • fission.webContentIsolationStrategy: 0

Added

• Support for Get Computed Label and Get Computed Role

  The command Get Computed Label returns the accessibility label (sometimes
  also referred to as Accessible Name), which is a short string that labels the
  function of the control (e.g. the string "Comment" or "Sign In" on a button).

  The command Get Computed Role returns the reserved token value (in ARIA,
  button, heading, etc.) that describes the type of control or content in the
  element.

  Note that the minimum required Firefox version is 113.0.

• Support for Find Element From Shadow Root and Find Elements From Shadow Root

  The commands allow a lookup of individual elements or collections of elements
  within an open or closed Shadow DOM. All location strategies except Tag name and
  XPath selector are currently supported.

  Note that the minimum required Firefox version is 113.0.

Changed

• The Mozilla specific capability moz:useNonSpecCompliantPointerOrigin has been
  marked as deprecated. Its removal is planned for the Firefox 116.0 release.
