    <p>I am using Selenium (Python) to create a webdriver. It was working fine a few hours ago. But now it gives the following exception:</p> <pre><code>Traceback (most recent call last): File "/local/data2/mwaqar/opt/Python-2.7.4/lib/python2.7/threading.py", line 810, in __bootstrap_inner self.run() File "/local/data2/mwaqar/opt/Python-2.7.4/lib/python2.7/threading.py", line 763, in run self.__target(*self.__args, **self.__kwargs) File "/cshome/mwaqar/AEK/AEK_extract_community.py", line 49, in extract_community driver = webdriver.Firefox() File "/local/data2/mwaqar/opt/Virtual-Python-2.7.4/lib/python2.7/site-packages/selenium-2.33.0-py2.7.egg/selenium/webdriver/firefox/webdriver.py", line 61, in __init__ self.binary, timeout), File "/local/data2/mwaqar/opt/Virtual-Python-2.7.4/lib/python2.7/site-packages/selenium-2.33.0-py2.7.egg/selenium/webdriver/firefox/extension_connection.py", line 47, in __init__ self.binary.launch_browser(self.profile) File "/local/data2/mwaqar/opt/Virtual-Python-2.7.4/lib/python2.7/site-packages/selenium-2.33.0-py2.7.egg/selenium/webdriver/firefox/firefox_binary.py", line 51, in launch_browser self._wait_until_connectable() File "/local/data2/mwaqar/opt/Virtual-Python-2.7.4/lib/python2.7/site-packages/selenium-2.33.0-py2.7.egg/selenium/webdriver/firefox/firefox_binary.py", line 95, in _wait_until_connectable self.profile.path, self._get_firefox_output())) WebDriverException: Message: 'Can\'t load the profile.

Can somebody provide any pointers?</p> <p>UPDATE: The code I am using is simple</p> <pre><code>from pyvirtualdisplay import Display from selenium import webdriver display = Display(size=(800,600), visible=0) display.start() driver = webdriver.Firefox() # gives exception </code></pre>

    3. COProbably you should paste the code to give better answer. I am assuming that you are running on Firefox by looking at the Exception

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
