Robotframework and Selenium2Library - browser doesn't load page

Question

I'm having a problem while I'm trying to open a browser. I'm writing tests in RIDE and when I run the test, the browser opens but doesn't display the page...

The browser only displays a message: "the connection has timed out"

Did anyone face this problem?

Here's the code:

    *** Settings ***
Library           Selenium2Library

*** Variables ***
${Username}       student2
${Password}       Testing1
${SiteUrl}        http://demo.mahara.org
${DashboardTitle}    Dashboard - Mahara
${Delay}          5s

*** Test Cases ***
Test2
    Open Browser to the Login Page
    Enter User Name
    Enter Password
    Click Login
    sleep    $(Delay)
    Assert Dashboard Title
    [Teardown]    Close Browser

*** Keywords ***
Open Browser to the Login Page
    Open Browser    http://demo.mahara.org

Enter User Name
    Input Text    login_login_username    ${Username}

Enter Password
    Input Text    login_login_password    ${Password}

Click Login
    Click Button    login_submit

Assert Dashboard Title
    Title Should Be    ${DashboardTitle}

Btw the firefox version: 31.0 selenium version: 2.53.6 selenium2Library version: 1.7.4

Any solution? Thanks in advance ;)

Are you able to open the URL manually? The connection timed out could be due to your application/network issue. Also, can you provide your code in your question description? — Mukesh Takhtani, Jul 12 '16 at 08:56
I've edited the post adding the code.. Yes, I am able to open the URL manually. — pingwin850, Jul 12 '16 at 09:08
ok, I found the solution.. I had to create new folder called 'ff_profile', add a new variable ${FF_PROFILE and} and in keyword Open Browser do sth like that: ff_profile_dir=${FF_PROFILE} — pingwin850, Jul 12 '16 at 10:45
It would be great if you answer your own question and accept the answer. — ombre42, Jul 12 '16 at 16:48
