For Linux based system, download geckodriver. Extract it and copy the driver to /usr/local/bin and finally make it executable (chmod +x geckodriver).

Shortly,

From selenium 3.0, you have to explicitly download Marionette geckodriver for Firefox (which is similar to ChromeDriver for Chrome) and keep it in a place where the system can identify it. (like System PATH - environmental variables in Windows) or specify using language options.

Answer 3

Linux(Ubuntu) Users should download the geckodriver and extract it in your project folder and while running your python script give the argument as

executable_path="./geckodriver"

Example:

from selenium import webdriver

class RunFFTests():

    def testMethod(self):
        # Initiate the driver instance
        driver = webdriver.Firefox(
            executable_path="./geckodriver")

        driver.get("http://www.letskodeit.com")

ff = RunFFTests()
ff.testMethod()

Answer 4

For mac users use:

brew install geckodriver

Answer 5

I just download Gecko file and paste in where your python file is. It solves the problem!
