geckodriver

Proxy for using W3C WebDriver compatible clients to interact with Gecko-based browsers.

This program provides the HTTP API described by the WebDriver protocol to communicate with Gecko browsers, such as Firefox. It translates calls into the Marionette remote protocol by acting as a proxy between the local- and remote ends.

Installation

Geckodriver can be installed through various distribution channels:

• You can download pre-built binaries for the most common platforms from our Releases page on GitHub.
• Alternatively, you can compile it yourself by using:
  • cargo install geckodriver, or
  • Checking out the release branch or a specific tag.

For a detailed list of changes included in each release, please refer to the change log.
