       Does the remote machine have firefox installed the the default

       The error is with the firefox profile folder. You can pass it
as a parameter. I used to use the RC, and it had a
-fireforeProfileTemplate parameter to which you pass on the path to
the profile folder. There must something like that for WebDriver as
well. Thanks
