Selenium IDE was deprecated last year - maybe that?

"The bad news: from Firefox 55 onwards, Selenium IDE will no longer work."

Alternatives:

My own metrics, comparing attention on Stack Overflow:

- Katalon Studio immediately started getting attention on Stack Overflow after Selenium IDE was discontinued.

- In Q2 2017 Robot Framework already had more pageviews on Stack Overflow than Selenium IDE. The gap has continued to grow since the deprecation notice.

- In any case, Protractor is the one with the most attention on Stack Overflow between these alternatives.

Selenium WebDriver (aka Selenium 2.0) and Selenium IDE are different projects.

Protractor is a test runner for Angular JS that uses Selenium WebDriver to talk to browsers. It's very much alive, as are all the other test runner options (Nightwatch, Cypress, etc).
