In Python3.6 (selenium module): ConnectionAbortedError: [WinError 10053] An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine

问题

I am studying Python with the book "Automate the boring stuff with Python" (written by Al Sweigart) and I have a problem with web scraping (Chapter 11), namely the selenium module. I am writing the following in Python IDLE:

>>> from selenium import webdriver
>>> browser = webdriver.Firefox() # Here Windows command black window appears
                                  # and Mozilla Firefox with blank page opens
>>> browser.get('http://inventwithpython.com')
    Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#2>", line 1, in <module>
    browser.get('http://inventwithpython.com')
  File "C:\Users\forwa\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\remote\webdriver.py", line 326, in get
    self.execute(Command.GET, {'url': url})
  File "C:\Users\forwa\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\remote\webdriver.py", line 312, in execute
    response = self.command_executor.execute(driver_command, params)
  File "C:\Users\forwa\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\remote\remote_connection.py", line 472, in execute
    return self._request(command_info[0], url, body=data)

ConnectionAbortedError: [WinError 10053] An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine

>>> browser.get('http://inventwithpython.com')

When I write >>> browser.get('http://inventwithpython.com') the first time, the error occurs. When I write this command the second time, the Mozilla Firefox browser opens desired web page. When I write the command the third time, the ConnectionAbortedError again occurs, and so on - the odd times of writing the command (1, 3, ...) result in the ConnectionAbortedError, and the even times (2, 4, ...) pass without error. I tried to turn off antivirus and firewall but it did not help. Please help me with the issue. P.S. I have Windows 10 OS.

I'm the author of Automate the Boring Stuff with Python. I encountered this error as well on a Windows 10 machine. According to this StackOverflow answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/51005821/1893164 this seems to be a problem with geckodriver 0.21.0.

The workaround which worked for me was to install the older version of geckodriver, 0.20.1, which you can download here: https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases/tag/v0.20.1
