[wtr-general] Timeout waiting for {:id=>"version-box", :tag_name=>"td"} in Watir 6.11.0

I've been querying the Firefox version number by using 'about:support' as
the URL and accessing via
@b.td(:id, 'version-box').text

This stopped working with Watir 6.11.0. Reverting to Watir 6.10.3, solves
the issue.

*Versions:*
ruby 2.4.3p205 (2017-12-14 revision 61247) [x64-mingw32]
Watir 6.11.0, WebDriver 3.12.0, Firefox 62.0b9, GeckoDriver 0.21.0
Windows 7

*Relevant code:*
@b.goto 'about:support'
@b.tds.each do |td|
puts td.id.inspect.to_s # displays "version-box" amid the 'td' id's
end
@b.td(:id, 'version-box').wait_until { |el| el.present? } # fails here with
default of 30 secs.
firefox_version = @b.td(:id, 'version-box').text

*Output:*
driver=#<Selenium::WebDriver::Firefox::Marionette::Driver:0x4a4c2204
browser=:firefox>
#<struct Selenium::WebDriver::Dimension width=1296, height=974>
"application-box"

When I use browser.goto 'about:support' in Firefox to query the version
number

browser.td(:id, 'version-box').wait_until { |el| el.present? }
firefox_version = browser.td(:id, 'version-box').text

using Watir 6.10.3, "css selector" is used

This is very strange... It's almost as if on this particular internal page
to Firefox they are running a stripped down xpath version?

".//*[@id='version-box']" works, but throwing td in instead of * does not
Same goes for one of the buttons above, ".//*[@id='copy-to-clipboard']"
works, but replacing * with button does not.

If you go to www.google.com, "//input[@id='lst-ib']" works fine there.

This is me just entering $x() to use xpath in the browser console itself...
So it's not the fault of Watir.

If you want it to still use css, you can always do browser.td(css:
'#version-box'). Or, better yet, instead of going to about:support to get
the version, just call `browser.capabilities[:browser_version].

Lucas,

Thank you for investigating, and explaining the situation, thus exonerating
watir.

I'm grateful for your suggestion to query capabilities. I've implemented
:desired_capabilities and have the query working for both firefox and
chrome! wOOt!
