Your version of Selenium is probably not compatible with your version of Firefox. Try installing an older Firefox version.

  1. Before installing and older version, go into Firefox and turn off the automatic update option.

    Firefox --> Options --> Options --> Advanced --> Update --> Check for updates, but let me choose to install them

  2. Go here and install and older version. https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/

    You don't have to uninstall Firefox, just install the version you want to install. You may have to try a few versions until you get the right one.
