I tried to solve same problem on windows:

from selenium import webdriver

from selenium.webdriver.firefox.firefox_profile import FirefoxProfile

from selenium.webdriver.firefox.firefox_binary import FirefoxBinary

binary = FirefoxBinary(r"C:\Users\<Windows User>\Desktop\Tor Browser\Browser\firefox.exe")

# start driver without a profile

driver = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_binary=binary)

# configured profile settings

driver.profile.set_preference('network.proxy.type', 1)

driver.profile.set_preference('network.proxy.socks', '127.0.0.1')

driver.profile.set_preference('network.proxy.socks_port', 9051)

driver.get("http://stackoverflow.com")
