which browsers are supported by Selenium 2.0

Question

So, now I am looking for a list of all the browsers and their versions which are supported by Selenium 2.0

I searched http://docs.seleniumhq.org/about/platforms.jsp also but it seems the document is not updated, as I cannot see FF later versions like 13 and 14 listed over there.

So far, I have just worked on FF 13, 14 and IE 8

Could someone suggest me any link or a list here the browsers with their versions?

Many thanks for any help!

Regards,

Answer 1

The officially supported browser versions are as follows:

IE: Versions 6-10 supported. Version 11 should work fine, but is untested. IE6 support is to be discontinued on 15 April 2014.

Firefox: Versions supported using native events are the current version, immediately previous version, current extended support release (ESR) version and immediately previous ESR release, as determined from the date of release of the Selenium components. The last public Selenium release at the time of this writing was on 27 August 2013, and at the time, that means the supported Firefox versions were 23 (current), 22 (previous), 17 (current ESR), and 10 (previous ESR). This is complicated by the fact that this version support is only applies to so-called "native events"; if you don't use native events, a much wider range of Firefox versions is supported.

Chrome: Version support is determined by the chromedriver exectuable used, and is available at the chromedriver download site, but is usually stated as the current and previous stable channel releases, the current beta channel release, and the current dev channel release, as determined by the date of release of the chromedriver executable.

Opera: The OperaDriver supports Opera 12.x. It is theoretically possible to use the chromedriver executable for Opera 15+, but Opera Software has yet to make the necessary changes in Opera to allow this.

which browsers are supported by Selenium 2.0.

Mind you, that Selenium 2 relies on on the drivers for each browser. What you should turn to, is the versions of IEDriver, ChromeDriver, FirefoxDriver, etc.

Each WebDriver supports a range of versions of the browser.

For example, chromedriver 2.2 works on Chrome v27-29 I believe. As far as a list goes, I think you'll have to dig. There aren't any sources i've found yet.

The Firefox driver is native to the main jar as a firefox extension so that's not as obvious but IE and ChromeDriver supported versions can be found on the driver download page. You can see on the page below that the latest chrome driver supports version 28-31. One thing you'll probably notice is that every time a new FF version comes out, typically less than a month later a new selenium jar will come out.

ChromeDriver server for win32 (v2.3.220795) supports Chrome v28-31
