Please don't top-post on this list (and many others). Inline or
bottom-posted responses are usually preferred like the way that I've

Unfortunately neither can I as I've never used selenium. Someone may
respond with a good answer to this but I also wouldn't be surprised if
no one here understood your problem. This list is mainly for people
learning the basics of Python and I think that this seems like quite a
specialist problem that might be better directed at a
mailing-list/forum that is primarily for selenium/firefox (I'm not
sure as I don't really understand what you're doing).
Sorry,
Oscar
