Selenium error: selenium. common. exceptions. WebDriverException: Message: & amp; quot; Can & amp; #39; tloadtheprofile.

Error Description: An error occurred while initializing a firefox browser Using selenium in python code. After reading that the version of selenium is 2.35, I used firefox -- version to check that it is 28.0, firefox seems to be disobedient and automatically upgraded, resulting in the old version of selenium not supported.

Solution:

Enter sudo pip install-U selenium to upgrade the current selenium version. It automatically connects me to pypi.python.com and obtains a 2.42 version package. After the upgrade, it will work properly.

If the sudo pip prompt cannot be found, you can first which pip and then directly sudo the pip directory, maybe the bin path is not included in bashrc.
