I am trying to use splinter to test my webapp. When I try to execute the following
>>> from splinter import Browser
>>> browser = Browser()
I get this error. I have been looking around but I'm not sure how to fix. Could someone please tell me how to get past this?

Here's the code from firefox_binary.py that is throwing: https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/blob/master/py/selenium/webdriver/firefox/firefox_binary.py#L79-L90
Do you have Firefox installed and working properly? I would also try updating Firefox to make sure it's on the latest version.
