What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Start selenium hub and selenium node
2. Run in loop:
#!/bin/env python
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Remote(desired_capabilities=webdriver.DesiredCapabilities.FIREFOX,
command_executor='http://127.0.0.1:4444/wd/hub')
driver.get('http://127.0.0.1') # blank page
driver.quit()

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Selenium isn't freeing memory after test execution.
