I tried "d" as well. It is not working. Even I am not able to launch Firefox. Downloaded 37.0 V
However I am able to launch IE with my code. But when I send keys to search on google. Characters are searched very slowly and is getting timed out. Below my code for Firefox is not working



import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.*;


public class launchmozilla {

public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("http://google.com");

}

}


Error I get:-
