As per The WebDriver Sampler: Your Top 10 Questions Answered guide
Q. How do I Know Which Browsers are Supported?
A. The WebDriver Sampler relies on underlying Selenium and HTMLUnit libraries. Therefore, browser support is dependent on 3rd-party libraries providing Selenium integration.
WebDriver Set 1.2.0 comes with Selenium libraries 2.39.0.
Looking into Selenium Changelog
v2.39.0
=======
WebDriver:
* Update to support native events for Firefox 26.
So it is recommended to use Firefox 26 with the latest release of JMeter Plugins. You can download Firefox 26 from Mozilla FTP site
For JMeter - always use the latest version as it contains the most recent bug fixes and improvements including performance ones. As for now it is JMeter 2.12.
Summarizing all above:
JMeter: 2.12
WebDriver Set of Plugins: 1.2.0
Firefox: 26

BROWSER option is missing in view listener in a tree in JMeter

I have JDK 14 and JMeter 5.3 configured on my Windows 64 bit system But I don't see "Browser" option in "View Listeners in a Tree" in JMeter.
Any ways I can get it?
The easiest solution is just to downgrade to Oracle JDK 8 as it includes JavaFX package which is required for this Browser option to work.
However according to 9 Easy Solutions for a JMeter Load Test “Out of Memory” Failure you should always be using the latest version of JRE/JMeter so if you need to be able to render the response in the View Results Tree listener go for the following steps:
Download and install OpenJFX
Set PATH_TO_FX environment variable pointing to the OpenJFX installation folder
Restart JMeter - at this point you should see the Browser option
Browser option was removed due to missing JavaFX suppport
Bug 63355 - View Results Tree: Browser view option is not Available with Java 11
You can downgrade to Java 8 (which include library) or add Java FX library manually
Felix Schumacher:
You either have to downgrade to a Oracle Java -- which includes JavaFX, or you try to integrate JavaFX into a newer Java version. openjfx.io claims to have JavaFX versions for newer Java versions.

Using JMeter i can open firefox Driver config, but WebDriver sampler code is not working

Using JMeter i can open firefox Driver config, but WebDriver sample code is not working.
Below is the code used in WebDriver sample, Please help me.
WDS.sampleResult.sampleStart()
WDS.browser.get('http://google.com')
WDS.sampleResult.sampleEnd()
Do you see anything suspicious in jmeter.log file? My expectation is that you're using the latest Firefox version and WebDriver Sampler plugin doesn't support it.
As per JMeter Plugins Changelog
bump up Selenium dependency to 2.47.0
As per Selenium Changelog
v2.47.0
=======
Supports native events for Firefox version 31 (immediately previous ESR).
Native event support has been discontinued for versions of Firefox later
than 33. Synthetic events tested on Firefox versions 31 (immediately
previous ESR), 38 (immediately previous release and current ESR), and 39
(current release).
I would suggest downgrading your Firefox to version 31.0.6 . You can get it from Mozilla FTP website
Also check out The WebDriver Sampler: Your Top 10 Questions Answered guide, it covers this and several other frequent problems.
I agree with Dmitri T. The version 31.0.6 was the last version supporting native events. the Browser.get call is native I think. You can use a later version of firefox if you navigate instead using a JavascriptExecutor , and avoid the native calls, like .get and .sendKeys.

Does CEF3 support NaCl?

Has anyone had success in enabling NaCl/PNaCl support in the CEF3 (Chromium Embedded Framework)?
I find that Chrome (34) can run the PNaCl samples on this page fine, but the cefclient distributed at cefbuilds.com (Windows, 1916 branch) does not.
Chrome lists the ppGoogleNaClPluginChrome.dll as a PPAPI (in-process) plugin on chrome://plugins, while the cefclient app doesn't have this plugin listed (Test/Plugins menu option)
I've pulled down the source, and don't see any NaCl depedencies for the libcef target, and also see this issue filed for the CEF project, which make me suspect that this is currently only available for Chromium/Chrome.
--- Update ---
There has been quite a bit of activity on this question recently, I suspect in part due to the bounty, and also because Chrome/Chromium is now actively deprecating NPAPI.
If you would like to encourage the CEF team to prioritize work on adding NaCl/PNaCl support, please vote for the issue here:
http://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/cef/issue/705#
From the CEF Forum:
CEF does not include the NaCl pepper (ppapi) plugin which is required to load NaCl applications. So you need to tell CEF where to find the NaCl plugin via the command-line. I'm not sure of the exact command-line, but you can use this as a guide: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=10509
You can get the plugin from an equivalent version of Google Chrome of you can build it from source code. For more information see http://www.chromium.org/nativeclient/getting-started/getting-started-background-and-basics.
I haven't tested NaCl support in CEF myself so it's possible that other changes may be required.
In 2017 June, CEF3's plan to eventually suport NACL was officially dropped as mentioned in https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/cef/issue/705
This is due to chromium moving to replace NACL by Webassembly.
There's some work in CEF3 in that direction: accordingly to https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/cef/issues/2101/add-webassembly-support there's wasm support in v8 engine and it can be enabled by specific flags.

Why there is no need of external firefox driver like IE and chrome in selenium2.0..?

I have two doubts kindly help me to solve these
1)Why there is no firefox driver [.exe] like IE and chrome for running selenium2.0..?
2)Why do we need to initialize the IE and chrome driver while working with IE and chrome in selenium2.0..?
Thanks
Mahesh
The FirefoxDriver is special, it comes pre-bundled in the package:
https://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/FirefoxDriver
Firefox driver is included in the selenium-server-stanalone.jar available in the downloads. The driver comes in the form of an xpi (firefox extension) which is added to the firefox profile when you start a new instance of FirefoxDriver.
In a very similar way to how the Safari driver works:
https://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/SafariDriver
The SafariDriver is implemented as a Safari browser extension. The driver inverts the traditional client/server relationship and communicates with the WebDriver client using WebSockets.
It is just an extension that is created and used to communicate with Firefox, the other browsers & drivers simply don't follow the same implementation and thus, you are required to start drivers & executables for the others.
2) Similar to what I just said. The implementation is different.
The IEDriver uses very low-level Win32 API calls to do some of it's work, the FirefoxDriver or ChromeDriver doesn't need to do this:
https://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/InternetExplorerDriver
1. Mozilla has created the geckodriver binary for use with Firefox v48 and later.
NOTE: If using Firefox v47 and earlier then the following can be ignored as it uses the native Firefox browser implementation.
Geckdriver - GitHub
Geckodriver Releases
In order for Selenium to hook into Firefox the Geckodriver Binary Path System Property must be set before instantiating the WebDriver.
webdriver.gecko.driver = path/to/geckodriver
The following is sets the property in Java.
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver","path/to/geckodriver");
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
As of 2017-03 the latest Geckodriver must be used with Selenium v3.3 and later.
Selenium Java - Maven Repository
2. The reason for initalizing the InternetExplorerDriver and Chromedriver is that each have specific browser options.
InternetExplorerDriver - SeleniumHQ
Chromedriver - Chrome Options
Also, the other reason for a driver binary is that Selenium does not have native implementations of the browser events that are part of Internet Explorer, Chrome and Firefox (as of v48 and later).
The only proof of this that I can find is from How to Use GeckoDriver - ToolsQA (2016-09-28) that states the removal of native Firefox events from Selenium.
Gecko Driver is the link between your tests in Selenium and the Firefox browser.
GeckoDriver is a proxy for using W3C WebDriver-compatible clients to interact with Gecko-based browsers i.e. Mozilla Firefox in this case.
As Selenium 3 will not have any native implementation of FF, we have to direct all the driver commands through Gecko Driver.
A logical assumption is that Selenium never had native events for Internet Explorer or Chrome previously and that is why it has been required to use the specific driver binary for each browser type.

Web Driver version compatibility for IEDriverServer

I am using Web Driver version 2.21.1.0 and IEDriverServer version 2.25.2.0 . This works fine in IE browser. Now, I need to know the compatibility of the Web driver 2.21.1.0. Whether it will support the IEDriverServer version 2.32.3.0 and what are the driver version it will support.
I have tried searching regarding this in many links but couldn't able to find the correct compatibility for the mentioned Web Driver version.
Thanks in advance.
Check the below link.
http://selenium.googlecode.com/git/java/CHANGELOG
Webdriver v2.22.0
IE driver now uses the IEDriverServer. You may need to download
this. Set the "useLegacyInternalServer" to boolean true if you
need the old behaviour.
