Python：Selenium Firefox Webdriver失败并显示错误：'无法加载配置文件... WARN addons.xpi ...“

Question

I am trying to run the following Python code to create a Firefox Webdriver window via Selenium:

from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get("http://www.google.com")

While this code worked fine a few weeks ago, it now produces the following foreboding message:

 Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test.py", line 2, in <module>
    driver = webdriver.Firefox()

Does anyone know what this means, or what I can do to remedy the error and get the code to run as expected? I've found related error messages through Google searches, but nothing that has allowed me to resolve the issue.

For what it's worth, I can open a Chrome Webdriver without issue by changing the second line of the above to driver = webdriver.Chrome() .

I'm using Python 2.7, Selenium 2.35.0 (I just ran "pip install selenium --upgrade) and Firefox 26.0 on a Windows 8 machine. Any tips or advice others can offer are most appreciated.

Answer 1

Selenium 2.35 is not compatible with Firefox 26. As the release notes say, FF 26 support was added in Selenium 2.39. You need to update to 2.39. Try pip install -U selenium instead.

Answer 2

不确定它在Windows上是否也能正常工作，但对我来说，Firefox 26和selenium 2.37.0的组合工作正常。

Answer 3

I also have this issue in Win8.1 FF28 and python3.4/selenium 2.41. But after I degraded FF to 24, it worked! And I also tested in Win8.1/FF27/Python3.4/Selenium 2.41, it worked too.

Answer 4

I just ran into the same thing with FF36 and selenium 2.44.0. Re-installing FF 32.0 fixed it.

Answer 5

I've experienced the same problem on my Kubuntu 14.04 desktop, I removed the Firefox 47.XX and re-installed Firefox 45.XX and the problem resolved.

Download firefox debian package

• apt-get purge firefox
• dpkg -i firefox-XXXXXXXXXX.deb
