Hello again, I don't think I clearly explained the scenario, there is not really any mess for us to fix.
Most larger companies, who develop in a BDD or ATDD way, will have a very clear defined build, testing and deployment process. Usually, if any modules of your project has a web ui, a subset of the acceptance tests will be written against the UI. These automated acceptance tests are done with various tools, and more often than not, one of these tools being the selenium web-driver. Now, selenium currently only supports firefox up until v20 (https://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki … leaseNotes). Which means, if the machine running the automated tests have a firefox version newer than that, the build will fail.
Now, you can't just remove selenium from the build(that would mean stripping the acceptances tests for the UI), nor just randomly upgrade it, even if a newer version was there (there is a process for changing the build). So, really, the only option is to make sure a older version of firefox is available on your development machine, so you can run the acceptance tests.
But just to be clear, this doesn't mean I am sitting browsing the web with a old firefox browser, it simply means that to complete a build, I need to have a environment available on my machine that can finish a build (including the automated testing, which relies on seleniums webdriver, which relies on well, a older firefox ). Note, at this stage, nothing is going anything near production, the acceptances tests are running against servers either running locally or in a UAT environment. So exploits because of a automated test script using a old browser is not really to big a concern(well, not for our department anyways, its the security departments job to ensure the safety of the UAT environments)
all the best,
