Selenium Manager 0.4.12 is shipped with Selenium 4.12.0. This release aims to stabilize the features provided so far, delivering a new relevant characteristic: automated browser management for Firefox.
A new release of Selenium Manager is out. For this release, we made a relevant decision concerning the Selenium Manager versioning format. From now on, Selenium Manager will follow the same version as Selenium. Nevertheless, since Selenium Manager is still in beta, its major version is 0. Thus, Selenium 4.12.0 is shipped with Selenium Manager 0.4.12.
Automated Firefox management
After shipping automated browser management based on Chrome for Testing on the previous release, Selenium Manager 0.4.12 continues the job by providing automated Firefox management. This way, Selenium Manager 0.4.12 allows us to manage the different Firefox releases (for Windows, Linux, and macOS), making them seamlessly available for Selenium.
Selenium seamlessly handles Firefox availability. If you don’t specify a version, it automatically uses the latest stable release. You can also designate a specific version (like 114 or 115) using the browser version. Labels such as stable, beta, dev, and nightly cater to various release types.
This functionality is made possible through Firefox’s well-maintained repository and the product-details JSON API curated by their team.
