firefox-marionette

I am having an automation script which worked well before the recent mozilla update. The selenium-python script automates some of my browser actions, and save certain reports (csv) to a defined location. I have been using selenium 2.53.6, which uses the following code : profile = webdriver.firefox.firefox_profile.FirefoxProfile() profile.set_preference('browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk',"text/csv, application/pdf,application/octet-stream") profile.set_preference('browser.download.folderList',2) profile.set_preference("browser.download.manager.showWhenStarting",False) profile.set

I understand it is required to change to that direction to get every browser supports and develops its drivers and to get drivers independent of Selenium. Besides, it is supposed if Mozilla develops its own driver, it will be faster and easier to fix issues and to develop features. My question is, for those who create

I am now learning Selenium and have met a problem. I am aware that Selenium supported old Firefox version by default without a driver. And for recent versions of Firefox, we have to download the driver and define it using System.setProperty . According to this link , for Firefox 45 and 46, start driver code could look like this: WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(); My Firefox is version 45.5.1., but above code still won't work. So according to this link , I have added: System.setProperty("webdriver.firefox.marionette","C:\\geckodriver.exe"); And it worked. Then I realized that I haven't
