selenium-firefoxdriver

I am using selenium with Firefox to automate some tasks on Instagram. It basically goes back and forth between user profiles and notifications page and does tasks based on what it finds. It has one infinite loop that makes sure that the task keeps on going. I have sleep() function every few steps but the memory usage keeps increasing. I have something like this in Python: while(True): expected_conditions() ...doTask() driver.back() expected_conditions() ...doAnotherTask() driver.forward() expected_conditions() I never close the driver because that will slow down the program by a lot as it has

I am trying to use Python 3.7 + Selenium + Geckodriver + Firefox v65.0 for scrapping.

I found a similar error as mine on stackoverflow and added selenium webdriver jar files to the project using the below method : right click on project--> goto build path--> configure build path--> click on "Add external jars"--> add selenium jar files from your local machine--> click ok--> now mouseover on WebDriver in your code--> click "import webdriver"--now run your code-->you will get rid of the exception.

Which Firefox version is compatible with Selenium 2.53.0? I tried Firefox 45.0 and I am getting this exception: org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: Failed to connect to binary FirefoxBinary(/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin) on port 7055; process output follows: foreignInstall":false,"hasBinaryComponents":false,"strictCompatibility":false,"l ocales":[],"targetApplications":[{"id":"{ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}","minVersion":"45.0","maxVersion":"45.*"},{"id":"xpcshell@tests.mozilla.org","minVersion":"0","maxVersion":"10"}],"targetPlatforms":[],

How to disable this "first run" page once and for all for FF? When FF driver is created, it opens tab with - https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/42.0/firstrun/learnmore/ and additional tab with target page. To turn off this annoying start page: in C# with Selenium 2.48 I found the following solution: FirefoxProfile prof = new FirefoxProfile(); prof.SetPreference("browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone", "ignore"); prof.SetPreference("startup.homepage_welcome_url.additional", "about:blank"); Driver = new FirefoxDriver(prof); ...and it will never bother you again. Note: One of these settings

Last weeks there has been a lot of noise about this new FirefoxDriver called Marionette. To use Firefox with Selenium, we used to use the "old" Selenium FirefoxDriver. From Firefox 48.0 onwards it is going to be required to use this new FirefoxDriver developed by Mozilla. 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
