Opening a browser | Selenium C# Forum

Hi

When setting up the browser:


All tutorials show this:

Method #1:
FirefoxDriverService service = FirefoxDriverService.CreateDefaultService(@"C:\selenium", "geckodriver.exe");
service.FirefoxBinaryPath = @"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe";
driver = new FirefoxDriver();

Actually when I do

Method #2:
driver = new FirefoxDriver();

Method #2 is what I used and it works fine. Is there any reason to use Method#1 ? I have the latest firefox installed on my machine

thanks

If you have set the path of geckodriver.exe in the environment variable, then there is no need of passing the path in the code. So , then if you do it by Method2 , then that is also correct and there is no need of using the Method1.
