Getting the following output when trying to run...

browser = webdriver.Firefox(options = options, executable_path=r"PATH\TO\geckodriver.exe") You have to put the path of geckodriver in the executable_path argument. You can download the driver from here: https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases. Let me see if I can use a drivermanager library to get rid of all this weird path stuff. Wait for the updates, until then you can try doing it manually as I have shown above.

The update did automatically download geckodriver.exe to the cache...which was cool. So this problem done. :)
