Warning while running Firefox in selenium

Question

While running a selenium java program I got a Warning stated as follow:

(firefox:8841): WARNING : 11:35:06.806: No marshaller for signature of signal 'PropertiesChanged'

I am using CentOs 7. I don't have any clue about it. I tried googling it but no help.

Presumably you are on Ubuntu, are your tests affected for this error? — undetected Selenium, Jul 18 '19 at 13:07
Welcome to Stack Overflow! Questions seeking debugging help ("**why isn't this code working?**") must include the desired behavior, a _specific problem or error_ and _the shortest code necessary_ to reproduce it **in the question itself**. Questions without **a clear problem statement** are not useful to other readers. See: [mcve]. — JeffC, Jul 18 '19 at 13:27
I am using centOs 7. Can you tell me the reason for this Warning? @DebanjanB — NewbieInProgramming, Jul 18 '19 at 13:51
@JeffC The user is a _New contributor_ and may not be accustomed with the site rules. There was absolutely no necessity to **bold** certain words within the comment. A _CV_ and/or a _DV_ should have been enough. — undetected Selenium, Jul 18 '19 at 14:19
@DebanjanB That's copy and pasted (including formatting) from the exact close message. If you have a problem with the formatting, you should probably discuss that with the SO staff via meta. Did you look at your own message formatting before complaining about my message formatting? — JeffC, Jul 18 '19 at 16:45

This error message...

No marshaller for signature of signal 'PropertiesChanged'

...implies that possibly the CentOS box have crashed.

As per this discussion heavy Samba Server file requests from any windows server (30+ file open and close requests per second from windows) would crash the the CentOS5.2 box with the following backtrace:

In those case the solution was to:

Upgrade to CentOS 5.3 or above.
Upgrade to Samba 3.0.33 or above.

Further as per the discussion in Firefox will not start after version upgrade Firefox have crased earlier without any apparent reason. In those cases, a clean reinstall of Firefox will solve your issue.
