Capybara/selenium-webdriver: set value to input[type="number"] does not work

Question

With latest update to selenium webdriver 2.41.0 and Firefox 29 setting of number fields does not seem to work any more:

fill_in "my-field", with: 1 does not do anything. Is there some way to workaround this issue?

Answer 1

Selenium 2.41.0 only offically supports to Firefox 28. Please either downgrade to Firefox 28 or wait for the new Selenium release.
