Description

**My code (the original follow unfollow where i put the credentials and the users on wich start the following)**
`"""
This template is written by @cormo1990
What does this quickstart script aim to do?
- Basic follow/unfollow activity.
NOTES:
- I don't want to automate comment and too much likes because I want to do
this only for post that I really like the content so at the moment I only
use the function follow/unfollow.
- I use two files "quickstart", one for follow and one for unfollow.
- I noticed that the most important thing is that the account from where I
get followers has similar contents to mine in order to be sure that my
content could be appreciated. After the following step, I start unfollowing
the user that don't followed me back.
- At the end I clean my account unfollowing all the users followed with
InstaPy.

**In few words the bot is able to open firefox and land on the instagram page but it stops as soon as is shown the "accept cookie" on the IG page.
I need to stress that I'm by no means a programmer so the solution could be very easy but I couldn't find anything online that help me understand.
Just please tell me what i need to delete or paste and where.
Thank you**

Research direction

Start with the supplied quickstart script and the logged Selenium timeout around the Instagram cookie prompt. Inspect /tmp/20210628-170957.html and reproduce the Firefox session; done means the cookie step completes and the session proceeds without the visibility timeout.
