Selenium docs error using Firefox

0 votes

I’m new to programming world and started to learn python.

As part of my project I need to open, feed a webform and download an image and as I have to do this umpteen time, I looked around if there is any way to automate it using Python. While running Selenium example code as given here Selenium docs example code

Below is the error:

 driver = webdriver.Firefox()

  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/selenium/webdriver/firefox/webdriver.py", line 51, in __init__

    self.binary, timeout),

  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/selenium/webdriver/firefox/extension_connection.py", line 47, in __init__

    self.binary.launch_browser(self.profile)

  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/selenium/webdriver/firefox/firefox_binary.py", line 44, in launch_browser

    self._wait_until_connectable()

  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/selenium/webdriver/firefox/firefox_binary.py", line 81, in _wait_until_connectable

    self._get_firefox_output())

selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: 'The browser appears to have exited before we could connect. 

I am using python 2.7.6 and the Firefox version is 40.0.3. Please help me to fix this.Thanks

Selenium v2.25 doesn't support firefox v40. Either downgrade your browser or upgrade your selenium version.

  1. Selenium v2.25 supports firefox browser v17.
  2. Selenium v2.47 supports firefox browser v39.
