This is very strange... It's almost as if on this particular internal page
to Firefox they are running a stripped down xpath version?
".//*[@id='version-box']" works, but throwing td in instead of * does not
Same goes for one of the buttons above, ".//*[@id='copy-to-clipboard']"
works, but replacing * with button does not.
If you go to www.google.com, "//input[@id='lst-ib']" works fine there.
This is me just entering $x() to use xpath in the browser console itself...
So it's not the fault of Watir.
If you want it to still use css, you can always do browser.td(css:
'#version-box'). Or, better yet, instead of going to about:support to get
the version, just call `browser.capabilities[:browser_version].
