Research direction

Start with quickstart.py and trace the Firefox session setup through instapy/instapy.py and instapy/browser.py. Reproduce the reported Selenium SessionNotCreatedException in the stated Python 3.7 environment, then verify that the bot starts the browser successfully once the capability mismatch is resolved.
