This is a task with pretty straightforward requirements: 1. You will be required to go to my server (preferably debian, but we can discuss this) 2. Compile firefox browser from sources there 3. Write ANY SHORT CODE for webdriver (could by java, or python bindings) to start an executable you've gotten on the previous step and make it load any url A*: try this first on you local PC, and if you will be able to do it, bid. If you mention somewhere, that you did A*, you will be chosen immediately.

I did it on Debian Wheezy 64 bit. Compiling take 1.5 hours and some unpredictable gimmick is required to enable webdriver.

Hello, Thank you for the smartly detailed description, I will be happy to build this Selenium solution for you, following your specifications precisely. I have done A*. There are some technical requirements the server will need to meet to build Firefox, but we will get to that. I will use Python. I will likely complete the task in 3 days, getting all the details just right may take a day more or two. I will be in contact with you regularly, and will count on your timely input whenever needed. You will enjoy free support and free fixes (if needed) even after project completion. I guarantee you will be very pleased with my work. I aim to earn an excellent rating on every project, and am willing to do whatever it takes to reach this goal. Would you mind, please, responding to my proposal so that we can discuss the details and get started? Thank you. Looking forward to working with you, George

Hello! Although I am new to Freelancer.com, I am an experienced programmer/web scraper with a Master's degree in Computer Science. I also have experience using Selenium for browser automation. Because I am focusing on building my reputation, I am willing to work for less than I normally would. I have created similar software in the past using Python (which I would always recommend using for the third party libraries such as BeautifulSoup and Mechanize, in addition to Selenium), and will gladly provide code and previously scraped data for an example. Thank you for your consideration, and I hope to work with you soon.

I have compiled firefox a lot time on Linux. Creating small WebDriver example isn't an issue. My bid is valid if you want compile firefox on Linux. I have neither Mac nor C++ on Windows in order to compile that on these platforms. BTW I'm curious, why you need compile firefox for simple webdriver example?

I'm going to start on my local machine and will let you know whether I was successful, so that you can accept my bid. However I need to know if you've already got any other freelancers working on it so that my time won't get wasted unnecessarily. Thanks

Hello sir. I have an experience in both writing selenium scripts on python and compiling FF on debian. Here couple of questions though: 1. Is manual compiling required for customizing firefox? If yes, will you provide the patch? 2. You mentioned that script will have to load *any* url. What do you mean by any and where from the script should take the url? Kind regards, Alex

Hi, I took the time to download and build the firefox browser on my machine, which runs Ubuntu ( a debian derivative), and I've been able to invoke a website through python script. So, guess that's basically A*. Please let me know if the proposal suits your needs. Regards, Nitin

Hi I like to do things for passion and recently I was exploring stuff related to Selenium for UI automation. Honestly, I have not done this stuff before, but since I am passionate for coding I am sure would be able to deliver this stuff well before time. The money I raise will be used to explore other stuff like paying for online courses, or bills for my AWS account. Hope you do not mind giving chance to young talent. Cheers.

Hello, I did on my server with Debian in combination with java. It shouldn't be problem to replicate it on your server.
