Package: python-selenium
Version: 3.8.0+dfsg1-3
Severity: normal
Justification: limited usage because of firefox dependency

Hi Mykola,

there is already a bug[1] for firefox. Geckodriver has to be shippet
with firefox not with python-selenium. Until that you have to use a
other one e.g. chromium-driver as described in
NEWS.debain/README.debian. Alternative yo have to install the
Geckodriver manually[2].

Regards
Sascha
