User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/54.0.2840.99 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

We use C#, Selenium 3 and SauceLabs to execute tests.

When the following scenario is executed against an older version of FireFox (e.g. 46.0 which presumably uses the old FireFoxDriver) then all is OK.

However, executing against the latest FireFox (49.0) an exception is thrown.

We have a routine which searches recursively through frames to get to an element using switchFrame, then we use switchWindow to go back to the original window after it's finished.

The issue seems very similar to the one documented here: https://github.com/seleniumhq/selenium-google-code-issue-archive/issues/4876


Actual results:

Expected results:

The element should have been found.

Sorry about the lateness replying to this bug, but can you please attach a geckodriver trace-level log?
