Selenium Connection Error
Question: Has anyone run across this error before? I just started getting this error on
monday. Why is it having issues with connecting?

Selenium will open the browser but will not plug in the url.

      selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: Can't load the profile. Profile Dir: %s If you specified a       log_file in the FirefoxBinary constructor, check it for details.
    

Code:

    
    
    from selenium import webdriver
    driver = webdriver.Firefox();
    driver.get("http://www.google.com")
    


Answer: This is a **compatibility issue** between `selenium` and `Firefox`.

Upgrade your `Firefox` to the latest version (36 at the moment).

And upgrade `selenium` to the latest version (2.45 at the moment):

    
    
    pip install --upgrade selenium
