I have the following installed on Ubuntu (Amazon EC2 t2.small): geckodriver: 0.24.0 firefox: 68.0.1 selenium: 3.141.0

On Windows, I have: geckodriver: 0.24.0 firefox: 67.0.4 selenium: 3.141.0

I don't know if the differing firefox versions are the problem, but I'm having trouble downloading 67.0.4 on Ubuntu (following this). I get the extracted firefox folder to /usr/bin/firefox but when I run firefox -v it gives me Command 'firefox' not found, but that's another issue.

I'm running the following block of code:

share_url =  ( driver.current_url )

...code here...

# scroll down a couple times
for _ in range(4):
    driver.execute_script("window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);")
    time.sleep(1)

The logic is the exact same across versions. It was also working earlier.

This fails on Ubuntu with the below errors, and works just fine on Windows.

My experience has been that Selenium is very sensitive to the version of browser it is running against. I would definitely try to work through whatever issues you're having getting 67.0.4 installed as I'm fairly certain that will get you going again.
