Today we're happy to announce ChromeDevTools support for Firefox is removed and WebDriver BiDi is paving the path forward

Selenium has deprecated support for Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) for Firefox in the last two versions (4.27 and 4.28). Our typical removal policy is to deprecate support for two versions, allowing users sufficient time to update their codebase, and then remove it from the third version onwards.

Starting with Selenium 4.29.0, support for CDP in Firefox has been officially removed—and for good reason. Firefox is moving towards adopting and embracing the future of test automation with the cross-browser WebDriver BiDi protocol. Aligning with this shift, Firefox has announced that starting with Firefox 129, the CDP protocol will no longer be enabled by default. You can read more about this [here] (https://fxdx.dev/deprecating-cdp-support-in-firefox-embracing-the-future-with-webdriver-bidi/).

To support this transition, Selenium is removing CDP support for Firefox, as a major portion of WebDriver BiDi functionality is now available across all Selenium language bindings. Selenium is committed to staying in sync with browser vendors and the latest developments in the WebDriver BiDi protocol. This step brings us closer to standardized, browser-agnostic automation.
