wires connects to exsiting Firefox session rather than creating a new one about geckodriver

[jgraham]

I can't reproduce this. @AutomatedTester can you?

[EricRahm]

This was on OS X in case that wasn't clear. It appears that sometimes a new browser is opened, but the page is still loaded in the other instance.

@jgraham I think I have better steps to repro:

1. Open Nightly <---- has to be nightly, it has marionette enabled it seems
2. Run snippet

So I get the feeling wires will open up Fx, tries to bind to the default port but the existing Nightly already has it, then happily connects to the existing session

[titusfortner]

I'm reproducing this on Linux, Firefox 45 right now. v0.6.2

This implies the Nightly process starts with Marionette enabled and bound to port 2828 by default. This is not the case for Nightly on my system:

% lsof -i :2828
%

Any updates on this? I am getting the same behaviour.

Initial test runs, subsequent tests fail (regardless the previous passed or failed).

Stacktrace from my Eclipse IDE (for subsequent tests)

I have driver.quit on my @after to shut down the driver after each test.

I am using the following driver: geckodriver-0.8.0-OSX

any help much appreciated!

I think this is fixed by #112, please reopen if not.
