Fail to connect to internet Firefox 53 launched with gecko 0 16 1

Question

I'm using the following configuration win 10 64-bit VS Enterprise 2017, C# testing project, Firefox 53.0.3 (64-bit) , Gecko driver geckodriver-v0.16.1-win64 , Selenium WebDriver v3.4.0

Below is the code:

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Linq;

using System.Text;

using System.Threading.Tasks;

using OpenQA.Selenium;

using OpenQA.Selenium.Firefox;


namespace Test

{

    class Program

    {

        static void Main(string args)

        {

            IWebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

            driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("http://www.google.com");

        }

    }

}

When I run this program the Gecko driver starts and displays this:

1496673391949 geckodriver INFO Listening on 127.0.0.1:62736 1496673393128 geckodriver::marionette INFO Starting browser \\?\C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe with args ["-marionette"]

A Firefox page is opened but after a while, a timeout error is displayed. Please help in this matter.

Below code will help you:

FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();

Proxy proxy = new Proxy();

proxy.IsAutoDetect = true;

profile.SetProxyPreferences(proxy);

IWebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(profile);

driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("http://www.google.com/");
