Public bug reported:

New autopkgtests were added to firefox recently
(https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mozillateam/firefox/firefox.xenial/revision/1335).

They use selenium to drive a headless browser. However the tests fail on
xenial, because the version of python3-selenium there is too old (it
lacks an Option class to specify that firefox should be launched
headless, and it fails to find the geckodriver executable anyway).

Installing a more recent version with pip makes the tests pass:

    sudo apt install python3-pip
    pip install selenium

The tests should do that on xenial.
