Selenium webdriver seems not working properly with Firefox 49.0. Am I missing something?
<p>I have gone through previous questions but did not find anyone else running into my issue.</p>

<p>This simple code hangs</p>

<pre><code>from selenium import webdriver
d = webdriver.Firefox();
</code></pre>

<p>The browser gets launched, but it just hangs there. After sometime, it crashes and I get the error</p>

<pre><code>selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: Can't load the profile. 
Profile Dir: /tmp/tmpn_MQnf If you specified a log_file in the 
FirefoxBinary constructor, check it for details.
</code></pre>

<p>I have Firefox49 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. I had selenium 2.53.6 and reading a previous post, I upgraded to selenium 3.0.0.b3. I also downloaded geckdriver and put it in /usr/bin</p>

<p>It looks like I was still running older version of selenium. But when I uninstalled that and installed selenium 3.0.0.b3, I see the following error -</p>

<pre><code>selenium.ââcommon.exceptions.WeââbDriverException: 
Message: Service geckodriver unexpectedly exited. Status code was: 2 
</code></pre>

<p>What am I missing?</p>

<p>There is some issue with Firefox version greater than 48.Better you downgrade the Firefox to lower than 47. I was having the same problem.</p>
