Problem Running Selenium Testcase on firefox 8

Problem,
Selenium test stop working, the test launches firefox and freezes forever.

            When i have updated my  Firefox  to version 8 and then tried to run my Selenium tests through the Selenium RC, it launch the first instance of Firefox (the one that logs the Selenium commands) but it didin't launch the actual testing window. So the tests couldn't run. I am using version 2.11.0 of Selenium RC. If you will revert it to Firefox 7 then  the windows will launch fine, and the tests will run.

Solution,
Change your version of selenium-server to the latest version.
Download the latest version of selenium-server jar(selenium-java-<version-number>.jar) from the SeleniumHQ downloads page. Firefox 8 is supposed to be supported since 2.12.
