I keep on getting the following errors when I attempt to run tests in Selenium IDE with Webdriver playback.

Caused by: org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: Cannot find firefox binary in PATH. Make sure firefox is installed. OS appears to be: VISTA

The error mentions not finding the firefox binary in PATH. I updated the Firefox binary in the path and I still receive the same error message. The functions used in the test case were one custom case and waitforelementpresent.

This is the variable value that I have in my path C:\Program Files (x86)\Firefox ESR 17

How can I resolve this?

i updated the enviroment variable path but it didn't work for me. Don't add firefox.exe in the end e.g. E:\installed\Firefox Mozilla. And restart the eclipse. It worked for me.
