I think you're right: Firefox may have automatically updated itself.
I checked and I was using Selenium 2.29
The most recent is 2.33
So I downloaded the newest one and did
pip install -U selenium
in terminal but I got this:
Installing collected packages: selenium
Found existing installation: selenium 2.29.0
Uninstalling selenium:
Exception:

Is it saying that 2.29 isn't letting itself be upgraded? Will I have to
completely delete Selenium from my computer and then reinstall it with the
updated one?
