Description
BokehPlotter.__initialise_webdriver is very slow.
It could be sped up on by checking whether a webdriver is already installed, and using that if it is (worst case is subsequent runs will be faster, if driver was not installed).
Package presumes Firefox is available. On *nix systems this could be a reasonable assumption, but it is not assured.
Could the driver be installed as part of package installation? With Firefox or similar if this is necessary?

Research direction
Start at BokehPlotter.__initialise_webdriver and trace how webdriver setup currently handles existing drivers and Firefox availability. Compare the requested reuse and installation behavior, then define completion around faster repeated initialization and a clear outcome when Firefox or a webdriver is unavailable.
