I am new to Selenium and am following the website http://selenium-python.readthedocs.org/
I tried the following bit of code which is there on the website
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get("http://www.python.org")
assert "Python" in driver.title
elem = driver.find_element_by_name("q")
elem.send_keys("pycon")
elem.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)
assert "No results found." not in driver.page_source
driver.close()
When I run this program, a Firefox instance opens but never loads the page. check snapshot
This is what I have received in the output console
C:\Users\Gauss\Desktop>python test.py
Traceback (most recent call last):

selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: Can't load the profile. Profile Dir: C:\Users\Gauss\AppData\Local\Temp\tmpkpjhnhpb If you specified a log_file in the FirefoxBinary constructor, check it for details.
Could someone please suggest a solution to this issue?
Note: This issue is on my office pc and the same code works fine on my home pc. So some issue with Firefox maybe.
