Answer 1

This issue occurred because of Firefox browser(version 45) compatibility issue. I am using selenium 3.0.0-beta2 and test against Firefox 45.0.2

When tried geckodriver (version 0.10.0)for OS windows 10 -64 bit, it seems something not work. It only works with Firefox 48 or onwards. It successfully working on chromedriver

Answer 2

You can try a more specific way to interact with dropdowns in selenium. Try something like this:

Select dropdown = new Select(driver.findElement(By.id("cmbJob")));
dropdown.selectByValue("111");

You can even define a function for working with dropdwns:

protected void chooseOptionInSelectByValue(String selectId, String valueString) {
  Select dropdown = new Select(driver.findElement(By.id(selectId)));
  dropdown.selectByValue(valueString);
}

So you can use the function like this

chooseOptionInSelectByValue("cmbJob","111");

Selenium dropdown object has many other options like selectByText, etc. Check it in the API here: https://seleniumhq.github.io/selenium/docs/api/java/org/openqa/selenium/support/ui/Select.html
