For both commands we have enabled the interactability checks by default now.

Has anyone an idea, what my mistake might be? Any help is greatly appreciated! So my guess is, that something is wrong with the firefox build, which I did exactly as mentioned in the online documentation (e.g./mach build). If I don't specify a firefox binary and let Selenium use the installed Firefox, everything works fine.

Selenium doesn't work with this firefox either. I also made sure that my code modifications are not the reason for this to crash by building a clean, unmodified firefox. Unfortunately, I installed the newest version of selenium (2.44.0) and I even used an older version of firefox (version 33) to rule out that point. I did google that error message and most solutions suggested, that I should Update Selenium since it does not support the Firefox version used.

For my research, I did some source code modifications in firefox and build it myself.
