This is a very interesting failure. When we do prototype, say with 10 testcases,
Webdriver seems to have behave correctly. All testcases passes. Now when we
put out test suite,after execution of 10-12 testcases,It starts failing/Skipping or
erroring out. The trace we get is listed below:

Checkout the configuration may be that is wrong.Mostly the latest browser version and WebDriver version do not match. Downgrade one level down for browser. It should work. On the next step downgrade the Webdriver version as well.
Next is to check the version of the OS as well as the version of the installed software’s. Like-the eclipse,phython,webDriver etc. They should be as per OS. I mean if your’s is a 64 bit OS. Please use same 64 bit application as well.
