Public bug reported:

The recent update of Firefox 36, available now on Ubuntu Trusty used on
the gate, broke selenium and all gate-horizon-dsvm-integration are
failing with errors like: WebDriverException: Message: Can't load the
profile. Profile Dir: %s If you specified a log_file in the
FirefoxBinary constructor, check it for details.

See for example: http://logs.openstack.org/60/157760/4/check/gate-
horizon-dsvm-integration/fd3c268/console.html


A new version of Selenium has not been released yet. See the Selenium bug: https://code.google.com/p/selenium/issues/detail?id=8399). 


I think this should be solved on infrastructural level (pinning firefox version, for example). After some IRC discussion it seems it's not the solution which is going to be implemented, and the job will be non-voting instead. This means that people can't rely on at all on results from that test (they are not even starting) until the new selenium pip packages are available, and we could suffer from unexpected issues when the tests are reenabled because of some patch which seemed to work locally but not on the gate. That said, who codes decides.
