Answer 1

Here is the relevant bug: Firefox 35: Passing arguments to executeScript isn't working.

Which was fixed in selenium 2.45 which was released today, upgrade selenium package:

pip install --upgrade selenium

Old answer:

I was able to reproduce the problem using selenium==2.44.0 and Firefox 35.0:

>>> element = web.find_element_by_tag_name('textarea')
>>> web.execute_script("return arguments",element)
[]

Downgrading to Firefox 34.0.5 solved the issue:

>>> element = web.find_element_by_tag_name('textarea')
[]
