title: How to set up rselenium for R?
body: <p>"everything was better back then"...</p>
  
  <p>since firefox 49 (?) you can't use the rselenium package not straightforward anymore. I have searched the whole internet to find a <strong>SIMPLE</strong> How To Manual for setting up rselenium but did not find anything relevant and uptodate.</p>
  
  <p>Can someone provide me and all the others out there who have no clue a simple How To manual? Like:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>download XY</li>
  <li>open AB</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>so I can run code like the following</p>
  
  <pre><code>require(RSelenium)
  
  remDr &lt;- remoteDriver(remoteServerAddr = "localhost", port = 4444L, 
  browserName = "firefox")
  remDr$open()
  </code></pre>
