Running python selenium tests in latest Firefox browser (Version 47 above)
“Marionette" or "Gecko Driver” is the future version of firefox driver. Firefox 47+ is not compatible with the driver used in Selenium 2.53, and Selenium 3+ will be using a new driver called "Marionette" or "Gecko Driver" (which isn't officially released yet).

? Selenium : Version 3.0.2
? Geckodriver : Version 0.11.1

? Selenium : pip install –U selenium
? Geckodriver : Download the geckodriver from https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases , unzip the file and place it in a folder

Sample script:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.firefox_binary import FirefoxBinary
from selenium.webdriver.common.desired_capabilities import DesiredCapabilities
#Provide the Firefox binary path
binary = FirefoxBinary(r'C:Program Files (x86)Mozilla Firefoxfirefox.exe’)
caps = DesiredCapabilities.FIREFOX.copy()
#Set ‘marionette’ browser to True
caps['marionette'] = True
#Launch the Firefox instance by specifying the geckodriver executable path
driver = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_binary=binary,capabilities=caps, executable_path`='D:/Installers/geckodriver-v0.11.1-win64/geckodriver')
