btw I'm on a Mac running 10.7. And after a couple minutes of not loading any webpage, the program gives me this error:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/bfishbein/Documents/s_buy2.py", line 7, in <module> driver = webdriver.Firefox() File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/firefox/webdriver.py", line 58, in __init__ self.binary, timeout), File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/firefox/extension_connection.py", line 47, in __init__ self.binary.launch_browser(self.profile) File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/firefox/firefox_binary.py", line 48, in launch_browser self._wait_until_connectable() File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/firefox/firefox_binary.py", line 95, in _wait_until_connectable self.profile.path, self._get_firefox_output())) WebDriverException: Message: "Can't load the profile. Profile Dir: /var/folders/vm/8th3csp91qb47xbhqhb4gcmh0000gn/T/tmpPeqacA Firefox output: *** LOG addons.xpi: startup\n*** LOG addons.xpi: Skipping unavailable install location app-system-share\n*** LOG addons.xpi: checkForChanges\n*** LOG addons.xpi: No changes found\n" I can't make any sense of this.
