the errors accure in template.py at line 70 in tearDown() function, which is a default unittest function autogenerated with Selenium-IDE

def tearDown(self):
    self.driver.quit()
    self.assertEqual([], self.verificationErrors)

EDIT:

This Problem happened when i updated Firefox to 26, even when i updated to selenium 2.39.0 the problem didnt go away
