I have installed firefox and Xvfb on my centos6.4 server to use selenium webdriver.
But, when I run the code, I got an error.
from selenium import webdriver
browser = webdriver.Firefox()
Error
selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message:
'The browser appears to have exited before we could connect. The output was: None'
I read some related pages on stackoverflow and someone suggested to remove all files in tmp folder, so I did it. But, it still doesn't work.
Could anyone please give me a help?
Thank you in advance!
Edit

for Googlers, this answer didn't work for me, and I had to use this answer instead. I am using AWS Ubuntu.
Basically, I needed to install Xvfb and then pyvirtualdisplay:
sudo apt-get install xvfb
sudo pip install pyvirtualdisplay
Once I had done that, this python code worked:
#!/usr/bin/env python
from pyvirtualdisplay import Display
from selenium import webdriver
display = Display(visible=0, size=(1024, 768))
display.start()
browser = webdriver.Firefox()
browser.get('http://www.ubuntu.com/')
print browser.page_source
browser.close()
display.stop()
Thanks to @That1Guy for the first answer
