I am using selenium to launch firefox here is my code:

from selenium import webdriver
browser = webdriver.Firefox()
browser.get('http://localhost:8000')
assert 'Django' in browser.title

it works for a few moment then firefox close and i get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "functional_tests.py", line 2, in <module>
browser = webdriver.Firefox()
File "/home/hossam/anaconda3/lib/python3.5/site-packages/selenium  /webdriver/firefox/webdriver.py", line 80, in __init__

% (self.profile.path))
selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: Can't load the profile. Profile Dir: /tmp/tmp7xr9w1rw If you specified a log_file in the FirefoxBinary constructor, check it for details.

can anyone explain this?

  • no different problem .. here it works for few seconds then crashes – Hossam Salah Mar 02 '17 at 13:45
  • The stacktrace is literally the same as in the other issue. You should try the suggestions there – Tamas Hegedus Mar 02 '17 at 13:58
  • ok i tried the suggestion but it installed selenium 3 which already has a problem of it's own and i solved it by installing selenium 2.53.6 – Hossam Salah Mar 02 '17 at 14:18
