Using the Python API, it’s pretty simple: from selenium import webdriver browser = webdriver.Firefox() print browser.binary.process.pid # browser.binary.process is a Popen object… If you’re using Chrome, it’s a little more complex, you go via a chromedriver process: c = webdriver.Chrome() c.service.process # is a Popen instance for the chromedriver process import psutil p = psutil.Process(c.service.process.pid) … Read more

The Websites themselves can detect the network traffic and can identify the Browser Client i.e. Web Browser as WebDriver controled. However some generic approaches to avoid getting detected while web-scraping are as follows: The first and foremost … Read more
As of Firefox version 47.0 (which came out a little while a go), a new driver must be used (created by mozilla instead of selenium) to connect to Firefox, because of a bug introduces in this version. As of Firefox version 48.0 the old driver will be deprecated completely and only Marionette can be used … Read more

Looks like it takes time to load the webpage, and hence the detection of webelement wasn’t happening. You can either use @shri’s code above or just add these two statements just below the code driver = webdriver.Firefox(): driver.maximize_window() # For maximizing window driver.implicitly_wait(20) # gives an implicit wait for 20 seconds
