Set chrome driver capabilities and path before launching the driver. More details here : https://chromedriver.chromium.org/capabilities

Try this approach. No need to maintain chromedriver in your project folder. Just 2 lines of code. Refer here webdriver-manager

from selenium.webdriver.common.desired_capabilities import DesiredCapabilities
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.options import Options
options = Options()

options.headless = False
cap = DesiredCapabilities().FIREFOX``

fp = webdriver.FirefoxProfile()
driver = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_profile=fp, options=options,capabilities=cap)

I had to add these lines and this works well with Firefox.(Not sure about others) – Aditi Linge Jul 22 '20 at 00:24
`cap["marionette"] = False` isn't a solution when you are using [Selenium](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54459701/what-is-selenium-and-what-is-webdriver/54482491#54482491) driven [GeckoDriver](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45329528/which-firefox-browser-versions-supported-for-given-geckodriver-version/45331403#45331403) initiated [tag:firefox] _Browsing Context_ – undetected Selenium Jul 22 '20 at 13:46
