Same issue as well

Its like instapy needs upgrade regarding browser.py as well. Here I have fixed the issue as following:

# firefox_profile.update_preferences() 
firefox_options.profile = firefox_profile
# prefer user path before downloaded one
driver_path = geckodriver_path or get_geckodriver()
ser = FirefoxService(executable_path=driver_path, log_path=geckodriver_log) # we can use webdriver manager as well
browser = webdriver.Firefox(
    # firefox_profile=firefox_profile, # delete this line of code.
    service=ser,
    options=firefox_options,
)

still not working. leads to NameError: name 'FirefoxService' is not defined this time.

still not working. leads to NameError: name 'FirefoxService' is not defined this time.

Mine worked using this: firefox_options.profile = firefox_profile

geckodriver log in specific user logfolder

geckodriver_log = "{}geckodriver.log".format(logfolder)
# prefer user path before downloaded one
driver_path = geckodriver_path or get_geckodriver()
firefox_options.executable_path=driver_path
firefox_options.log_path=geckodriver_log

browser = webdriver.Firefox(
    options=firefox_options,
)

Basically from selenium4 firefox_profile has been deprecated.

So you have 2 ways to fix this:

Downgrade selenium

pip uninstall selenium
pip install selenium==3.141.0

Update the code

In browser.py

from selenium.webdriver.firefox.service import Service

# Code from imports to line 122

firefox_options.profile = firefox_profile
service = Service(executable_path=driver_path)

browser = webdriver.Firefox(
    service=service,
    options=firefox_options,
)
