I am learning python and I am running into an issue

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

my firefox launches but it does not go on google.com like it is supposed to be but rather stays as a blank page.

    What firefox and selenium versions are you using? Sounds like one of that incompatibility issues we often see reported. – alecxe Aug 08 '16 at 04:03
  • I am using firefox 48.0 and I am not sure how to check the version of Selenium – Taste Marmelade Aug 08 '16 at 04:06
  • I believe that your problem is the firefox start page.http://stackoverflow.com/questions/34069224/firefoxdriver-always-starting-on-firstrun-page-breaking-all-test-scripts – thesonyman101 Aug 08 '16 at 06:22

I would recommend using chrome instead because your script does work. so... http://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/2.9/chromedriver_win32.zip Download that and extract it to your python27/scripts folder located in the root directory in the C:\\ Drive and then run this script.

from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get('http://www.facebook.com')

And It should connect you to facebook.com Hope I helped. :)
