In a previous post (enter link description here) the following code (by DebanjanB)
# install firefox, geckodriver, and selenium
!apt-get update
!pip install selenium
!apt install firefox-geckodriver
!cp /usr/lib/geckodriver /usr/bin
!cp /usr/lib/firefox /usr/bin
from selenium import webdriver
binary = '/usr/bin/firefox'
options = webdriver.FirefoxOptions()
options.binary = binary
options.add_argument('start-maximized')
options.add_argument('--headless')
browser = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_options=options, executable_path='/usr/bin/geckodriver')
browser.get('http://google.com/')
which is correct, caused a version problem. I'm not an expert in Ubuntu.
I use Google Colaboratory, Python3.6, Selenium3.14.

I searched the internet and only found that this is a version conflict between Firefox and Geckodriver. But nobody gives the solution how to choose the compatible versions. This is my problem. Any help is appreciated.
