gecko driver is in my path but I still get the error. I tried with both releases 0.26 and 0.27. I tried with both manually setting the browser executable path and automatic path. nothing works. the only thing I could get to work was using firefox gui.

$ ./geckodriver --version
geckodriver 0.27.0 (7b8c4f32cdde 2020-07-28 18:16 +0000)
$ which geckodriver 
/usr/bin/geckodriver
$ geckodriver --version
geckodriver 0.26.0

I tried setting browser_executable_path to global path, relative to local path to the same place as the python script, absolute path to local isntall etc. nothing works. I always get the same error.

No news ? I got this issue too. Latest Geckodriver on path, still got error.

I had the same problem on CentOS Linux, Geckodriver 0.27.0, Firefox 68.12.0esr and Selenium 3.141.0.
Then I downgraded to Geckodriver 0.26.0 and it works fine now.
