How to explicitly specify a path to Firefox for Selenium?

Question

I got Selenium IDE, followed this post, got to

python test_default_server.py

and it complains Firefox is not in my path:

Please

You have to use the following string when you instantiate selenium instead of just "*firefox":

"*firefox C:\\Program Files\\Mozilla Firefox\\firefox.exe"

Notice: I'm not sure that path is correct, but it should be a similar one.

Update: Where do you instantiate your browser? By the tags in the question I suppose you're a python guy:

def setUp(self):
    self.verificationErrors = []
    self.selenium = selenium("localhost", 4444, "*firefox C:\\Program Files\\Mozilla Firefox\\firefox.exe", "http://change-this-to-the-site-you-are-testing/")
    self.selenium.start()
