I just meant that you don't need that line with Firefox.
Firefox:
begin
browser.goto "https://www.facebook.com";
rescue UnhandledAlertError
# Do nothing, Firefox already did it.
end
Chrome:
begin
browser.goto "https://www.facebook.com";
rescue UnhandledAlertError
browser.alert.ok
end
Either:
begin
browser.goto "https://www.facebook.com";
rescue UnhandledAlertError
browser.alert.ok if browser.alert.exists?
end
