Until then use this Workaround to use Selenium on Firefox4

1. Type about:config in your browser address bar
2. Agree to the warning message
3. Right click inside the browser and the choose New -> Boolean
4. Set the preference name to "extensions.checkCompatibility.4.0"
5. Set the value to False
6. Restart Firefox

Selenium IDE should work now ..With due respect the above workaround was given by Mark Collins in Selenium User Groups

Difference between seleniumserver.boot() and seleniumserver.start()

when we use .boot() your user-extensions.js is invoked too, which is not the case when you use .start() .
Seleniumserver.boot internally calls Selenium.server ..So using boot and start in same code means like trying to start the server twice .

Why Name Selenium

I was wondering all this time why Selenium Testing Tool name clashes with chemical element "Selenium" having atomic number 34 . Seems i got an answer now . Jason Huggins started selenium in 2004 in order to find an alternative to QTP and selenium mineral supplements serve as a cure for mercury poisoning ..Hence he choose the name Selenium .

Dont know whether it is good or bad , but Selenium Testing tool dominates Selenium element in google search results in the top ten (7 : 3) .
