Same times the webdriver hangs when get url or click some link, webdriver executing (get or click) but no done.
1. For firefox
FirefoxProfile fp = new FirefoxProfile();
fp.setPreference("webdriver.load.strategy", "unstable");
driver = new FirefoxDriver(fp);
2. For IE
profile is not support for IE, we can set attribute enablePersistentHover as false.
DesiredCapabilities iecaps = DesiredCapabilities.internetExplorer();
iecaps.setCapability(InternetExplorerDriver.ENABLE_PERSISTENT_HOVERING, false);
