This is the code I am using
from selenium import webdriver
url = "https://www.reddit.com/r/memes"
browser = webdriver.Firefox()
browser.get(url)
This is the error

I am using WSL with Ubuntu and I am using Vim. I do not get this error however if I am outside of WSL and use VSC instead. But I want to code in Vim.
In the code, you haven't mentioned the path to the geckodriver executable. Your code should look something like this:
from selenium import webdriver
url = "https://www.reddit.com/r/memes"
browser = webdriver.Firefox(f'/home/user/Downloads/geckodriver')
# Or in Windows the path would be 'C:\\Users\\username\\Downloads\\geckodriver.exe'
browser.get(url)
If you don't already have the driver, get it from here.

I am aware that IE does not support headless. But there's a workaround of using virtual desktops on Windows to get it done. This is what https://github.com/kybu/headless-selenium-for-win is doing, but I seem to be running into an issue here.
My IEDriverServer.exe is added to $PATH$, and headless_ie_selenium.exe is also in the same directory as the IEDriverServer.exe
I'm trying to use it like this:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
browser = webdriver.Ie('C:\IEDriverServer_Win32_3.150.1\headless_ie_selenium.exe')
browser.get('www.someurl.com')
I'm pasting the traceback below

The only thing that worked for me was to programatically minimise the IE window on launch, and switch to another virtual desktop while the job runs.
Setting introduce_flakiness_by_ignoring_security_domains helped bypass the "Protected Mode" and "Zoom Level" errors.

This can cause if your C drive has not enough space. So use any tools like Disk Cleaner or CCleaner to free up some space.
Here is my version of the working code.
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="C:\Windows\chromedriver.exe")
driver.get("https://stackoverflow.com/")
Try adding chromedriver to C:\Windows.
Check both chrome and chromedriver having the same version.

I'm trying use Selenium to open chrome using a specific profile. I located the profile location in chrome://version and used the following code:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
options = Options()
options.add_argument(
"user-data-dir=../../Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Profile 2/")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(
executable_path='./chromedriver', options=options)
driver.get("https://google.com")
But instead, it throws this error:

I am using Python 3, Selenium 1.25.9, Chrome Version 85.0.4183.83, Chrome Driver MacOS Catalina
I am running updated versions of my all modules within my python. I am using conda-forge and spyder 3.7.
I am just attempting to open a webpage using some basic code and I get stuck there.
I have searcher just about everywhere on the site, but I am not sure what I should do since I am quite new to this.
I have updated the modules I am using and continued after every update but it was to no avail.
Here is my code:
from splinter import Browser
browser = Browser('firefox')
browser.visit('https://google.com')
Previously written as:
from splinter import Browser
browser = Browser()
browser.visit('https://google.com')
Same issue with both.

SessionNotCreatedException: Unable to find a matching set of capabilities
I expect to be able to open a webpage, but it just gives me this error.
Have you checked this issue from Github Selenium 3.4.0 Unable to find matching capabilities ?
Particularly those two answers:
First option
Second option
Seems like you are experiencing the same issue
I am Trying to Open the chrome in a configuration where all the extensions as well as in logged-in state.
I came across an answer to remove default from the chrome driver Options Module. However, when I added this and tried to execute the program runs Opens a new window with everything enabled, but it does not proceed to open the URL specified and stays at starting page.
Here is my code:
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium import webdriver
options=Options()
options.add_argument("user-data-dir=C:\\Users\\aman krishna\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\User Data\\")
driver=webdriver.Chrome("C:\\Users\\aman krishna\Desktop\\New folder (3)\chromedriver.exe",chrome_options=options)
driver.get("https://www.google.com")
In this code a new window opens but does not search for www.google.com
After some time an error message is displayed i.e
Traceback (most recent call last):
