title: How do i make a Selenium WebDriver run for many hours(CHO) without it causing a crash / OutOfMemory problems?
body: <p>I am using selenium-2.30.0 to run a single test(on windows) which runs for many hours (~ 8 Hrs). I was using the FF driver, but it runs out of memory after just 45 minutes or less, &amp; the test execution just hangs. I was unable to use HTMLUnitDriver (i thought a pure java solution was the answer) to run the same way as the FF driver (as it needs to wait for page loads &amp; I definitely didn't want to put random thread sleeps in my code or implement any new function by extending the HTMLUnitDriver).</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>I cannot break the test case to multiple smaller units.</li>
  <li>I cannot reload the driver as and when i see heavy memory utilization</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Is there any way to get this working?</p>
