=============================

python version 3.4.3 , selenium version 3.4.3 , Firefox version 49.0.

 

The reason for the error is the version compatibility between python, selenium, Firefox , after upgrading Firefox to the latest version 55.0 the problem is solved.

Also selenium needs geckodriver when calling Firefox, download it and add it to the Firefox installation directory, and add the Firefox installation directory to the system environment variable Path.

=============================

Test code:

1 from selenium import webdriver
2 
3 driver = webdriver.Firefox()
4 driver.get("http://www.google.com")
