Hm, i am not 100% sure about that WebDriver stuff[1]. Geckodriver is the link between browser and tests and acts as a proxy for the WebDriver commands. Im not sure if the extension is still useful for something. If i understand it right it's not needed anymore. But why it's still shipped?

But that's really a muddled bunch of binary stuff and it's not clear if it's possible to build it from source without breaking the DFSG. > Also, didn't Firefox drop support for XUL extensions? The > firefoxdriver.xpi extension doesn't appear to be a WebExtension. Yes, i just updated to the 3.14 and there it's still looks like WebExtension :(.
