Expected Behavior - Instance of Firefox starting

Actual Behavior - Error thrown:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3.6/multiprocessing/process.py", line 249, in _bootstrap

  File "/usr/lib/python3.6/multiprocessing/process.py", line 93, in run

    if firefox_options.binary is not None:
AttributeError: 'Options' object has no attribute 'binary'

Steps to reproduce -

def init_webdriver():
    from selenium import webdriver
    from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
    options = Options()
    options.binary_location = "/usr/bin/firefox"
    options.add_argument("-headless")
    return webdriver.Firefox(firefox_options=options, log_path="geckodriver.log")

driver = init_webdriver()
driver.close()

Using options.binary = "/usr/bin/firefox" following error appears:

Process Process-1:
Traceback (most recent call last):

    return webdriver.Firefox(firefox_options=options, log_path="geckodriver.log")

    if firefox_options.profile is not None:
AttributeError: 'Options' object has no attribute 'profile'

/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/firefox/webdriver.py references to /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/firefox/options.py, which contains:

def __init__(self):
        self._binary = None
        self._preferences = {}
        self._profile = None
        self._proxy = None
        self._arguments = []
        self.log = Log()

Calling webdriver.Firefox(log_path="geckodriver.log") simply opens Firefox.

Why is this closed?

If you'd read carefully:

from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options

options = Options()

options.binary_location = "/usr/bin/firefox"
options.add_argument("-headless")

return webdriver.Firefox(firefox_options=options, log_path="geckodriver.log")

This Issue was resolved by reading (it was 2 a.m.)

Here is a quick snip that will do the job for you:

from shutil import which
from selenium import webdriver

FIREFOXPATH = which("firefox")
CHROMEPATH = which("chrome") or which("chromium")

def init_webdriver():
    """Simple Function to initialize and configure Webdriver"""
    if FIREFOXPATH != None:
        print(FIREFOXPATH)#cm
        from selenium.webdriver.firefox.options import Options

        options = Options()
        options.binary = FIREFOXPATH
        options.add_argument("-headless")
        return webdriver.Firefox(firefox_options=options, log_path="geckodriver.log")

    elif CHROMEPATH != None:
        print(CHROMEPATH)#cm
        from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options

        options = Options()
        options.binary_location = CHROMEPATH
        options.add_argument("--headless")
return webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options, service_args=['--verbose'], service_log_path="chromedriver.log")

Usage:

driver = init_webdriver()
...

Note, the Browser(s) will be started headless, unless you remove the corresponding line

Don't forget to mention.
