I tried the code with system() command and following might be the reason it
is not working:
When you try to open firefox using system command it returns when firefox
shows up. But it doesn't wait for the default page to be loaded (which is
google.com) so it is not able to find the window with that title.
Workarounds:
1. put sleep after system() so that your page gets loaded and then try the
code
require 'firewatir'
system("d:\\installations\\Firefox\\firefox.exe -jssh")
sleep(5)
$ie = FireWatir::Firefox.attach(:title,"Google")
$ie.goto("google.com")
puts $ie.title
2. set the default page to blank
require 'firewatir'
system("d:\\installations\\Firefox\\firefox.exe -jssh")
$ie = FireWatir::Firefox.attach(:title,"")
$ie.goto("google.com")
puts $ie.title
Both the code worked for me with Firewatir 1.6.2 on windows XP SP2
