What is wrong? I am on MacOsX maverics and have installed selenium using macports if that is of any help.
The reason you have problems is because you have a brand new browser and an old selenium.
You need to do two things:
upgrade selenium package to the latest (currently 2.42.1) version
downgrade Firefox to 28 version

I am using geckodriver for Firefox and I'm running Python 3 with Selenium. This is my code in the file script.py:
from selenium import webdriver
browser = webdriver.Firefox()
browser.get('http://www.google.com')
Once I run it with python3 script.py with my terminal, it launches Firefox but simply doesn't load the page, nor does it insert the link in the address bar. My geckodriver is installed at this location: /usr/local/bin/geckodriver.
After waiting for about a minute, I get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):

I already searched a lot for fixes but none of them worked.
After I realized, I was using Firefox ESR instead of the normal one, I switched to the normal Firefox version and faced this problem:

selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: Can not connect to the Service /root/Downloads/firefox-56.0.1/firefox/firefox
Which version of Selenium/Geckodriver/Browser are you using?
Anyway, do you set the executable_path:
driver = webdriver.Firefox(executable_path=r'pathTo/geckodriver')
?
EDIT
If you are using:
Selenium version = 3.6.0
Geckodriver version = 0.19.0
Firefox version = 52.4.0
Your problem is Firefox. From GeckoDriver releases, is recommended Firefox 55.0 (and greater).

I am using Last Version of Kali Linux , and when I want to use program which using selenium , I take this error . So I try "pip uninstall selenium " - "pip install selenium " again , and nothing changes . Thanks for helps
Choose appropriate version of the driver from this page, download and unarchive it, then place to the directory your script is located at.
I am running fedora 19 XFCE on EC2, I get this error when i run the python selenium script...

Ran 1 test in 5.193s
FAILED (errors=1)
the script works fine on my local machine...and I think this is related to the desktop settings for XFCE.
I connect to the instance via vnc and can get the full XFCE desktop with no issues.
Any hints?
SOLVED:
I downgraded selenium 2.36 to 2.35 and the tests runs OK.
That error is due to browser incompatibility. I had the same thing while trying to run FF24. Try the tutorial here to try and get it running with FF22.
Firefox browser issues with Selenium
I want to use Selenium's Firefox driver.
But I got the error shown below. Is it possible that Firefox didn't install properly?
------ my source ------
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
------ my source End------
Here is the error that was returned:

I faced the same error but got fixed when I installed firefox. Didn't realise that firefox was not installed. Check it out.
selenium webdriver gives you programmatic access to web content. It drives a real browser, so yes, you need Firefox installed to instantiate webdriver.Firefox().
I installed selenium-python bindings and trying to create an instance of firefox web driver
as below
>>> from selenium import webdriver
>>> driver = webdriver.Firefox()
I dont know whats wrong here and its displaying the following error

selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: 'The browser appears to have exited before we could connect. The output was: Error: cannot open display: :1100\n'
Can any please let me know how to solve this ..............
The error says"cannot open display: :1100". Are you running it on a remote terminal? Make sure you can type "firefox" at the prompt and have the browser open (that is what Webdriver does - opens Firefox on your system and then trying to connect to it). If you are running it on a remote system, do a web search on connecting to X display remotely.
