Hi,

What is the purpose of the "dev.properties" file and is it possible to edit the values in this file?

Maven writes the values in:

<properties>
    <standalone.binary.root.folder>${project.basedir}/selenium_standalone_binaries</standalone.binary.root.folder>
    <browser>firefox</browser>
    <threads>1</threads>
</properties>

Into that file, the properties are then used by the test framework. You could modify the values in that file, but if you did you would no longer be able to specify them in your POM so I wouldn't recommend it.
