Question 2

Why cant we do the following?

Answer 2

Cannot instantiate an interface

Question 3

Why we wont prefer FirefoxDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver()

Answer 3

The FirefoxDriver instance which gets created based on above statement will be only able to invoke and act on the methods implemented by FirefoxDriver and supported by Firefox Browser only. We know that FirefoxDriver is a class and it implements all the methods of WebDriver interface. Using this statement, we can run our scripts only on Firefox Browser.

So, once you initiate a Firefox browser using FirefoxDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(); same object cannot be used to initiate Chrome Browser (you have to rename it)
