Python Selenium Firefox浏览器启动错误

Question

I am trying to launch Firefox (48.0.2) using Selenium with Python 3.5 on my mac using the following code:

from selenium import webdriver
browser = webdriver.Firefox()
browser.get('http://bbc.co.uk')

However, Firefox launches without going to the specified webpage and times out with the following error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/anthonyperera/Documents/Python/AutomatePython/seleniumexample.py", line 2, in <module>

I had the same issue and I solved it. Firefox 48+ doesn't support webdriver.Firefox() .

My environment:
MacOS 10.11.6, python 3.5.2, firefox 48.0.2, Django 1.10, selenium 2.53.6

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.desired_capabilities import DesiredCapabilities

caps = DesiredCapabilities.FIREFOX
caps["marionette"] = True
caps["binary"] = "/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin"

browser = webdriver.Firefox(capabilities=caps)
browser.get('http://bbc.co.uk')

This is what I was trying
1. download geckodriver . https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases . v.0.10.0 is for selenium 3(beta) . if you use selenium 2.xx , download v.0.9.0
2. open ~/.bash_profile . you can edit it by $ vim ~/.bash_profile .
3. add PATH like..
export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/your/.../geckodriver-v0.9.0-mac
4. geckodriver under the folder geckodriver-v0.9.0-mac , rename it to wires
5. restart shell
6. check the version
$ wires --version
7. and run above the code!
