Research direction

Start with quickstart.py line 24 and follow the traceback through instapy.py line 319 and browser.py line 114, then inspect the Selenium Firefox session setup shown in the report. Reproduce the quickstart failure and verify that the reported capability error and workspace message no longer prevent the quickstart from running.
