FIREFOX 48+ IS ONLY COMPATIBLE WITH GECKODRIVER. Any issue logged here for 48+ will be closed as a duplicate of #2559

Since Firefox version 48, Mozilla requires all add-ons to be signed. Until
10+
recently, Firefox support in Selenium was exclusively provided by an add-on.
11+
As this add-on is not currently signed, this solution does not work with the
12+
latest Firefox releases. As an alternative, Mozilla are working on a WebDriver
13+
specification compliant implementation named GeckoDriver. Please note that the specification is not complete, and that Selenium itself does not comply with
14+
the specification at this time. This means that features previously available
15+
through Selenium will not be available using GeckoDriver.
16+
17+
Any issue logged here for Firefox 48 or later will be closed as a duplicate of
18+
#2559. Our recommendation is to switch to GeckoDriver, or to continue testing
19+
on Firefox 45 until GeckoDriver is a viable option for you. If you are
20+
interested in helping us to sign the add-on to restore support for later
21+
Firefox versions, please see the following comment for what's needed:
