Title: Package geckodriver Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: Using selenium to drive firefox requires an executable called geckodriver, which is nowhere to be found in Ubuntu packages. Instead, all the information I could find on the internet suggests fetching that executable from upstream and installing it to /usr/local/bin (see e.g. https://askubuntu.com/questions/851401/where-to-find-geckodriver- needed-by-selenium-python-package). The sources for geckodriver are included in the firefox source tarball, and the executable is being built when building packages, but it's not installed anywhere. I propose to create a new firefox-geckodriver binary package for this purpose, similar to the chromium-chromedriver package. For context, I became interested in driving firefox with selenium when attempting to replicate chromium-browser's autopkgtests (https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~chromium-team/chromium-browser/eoan- stable/files/head:/debian/tests/). Upstream documentation for geckodriver: https://firefox-source- docs.mozilla.org/testing/geckodriver/.
