All versions after after 46.01 don't work. This was mentioned in several earlier posts. I reinstalled 46.0.1 and turned off automatic updates. I was hoping this would be fixed soon.

You can try the latest firefox webdriver for Selenium 3.0.1. I haven't tested this with anything other than 46.01. Download Python Selenium package from here:

https://pypi.python.org/packages/3a/a3/e4ab60a0229a85f468a36367bc0672a4bca2720f24391eda33704a5f0ad5/selenium-3.0.1.tar.gz#md5=ed5da4a35e1e643a53386d3e8f5960af

ungzip and untar it. Extract webdriver.xpi from selenium-3.0.1.tar\dist\selenium-3.0.1\py\selenium\webdriver\firefox and replace firefoxdriver.xpi at C:\Users\AppData\Local\SeleniumBasic. You'll have to rename it. Backup current driver. The driver is a lot smaller.

Let me know if this works. The driver is dated 9/27/2016 and I think 49 came out after that.

Hi mogulman52,

Thanks for the reply. Its didn't works for me. I copied the "webdriver.xpi" from "selenium-3.0.1\py\selenium\webdriver\firefox" location, paste into "C:\Users<User>\AppData\Local\SeleniumBasic" location and rename as "firefoxdriver.xpi".

........................... Thanks Dev

Hi. My question to GitHub is: why a new release of SeleniumBasic will not be issued adding the GeckoDriver that is strictly necessary to operate with Firefox version 48 and newer? Thanks EC
