Python selenium does not work with Firefox 47.0


OS : Ubuntu 14.04 64bit

selenium 2.53.5

$ firefox --version
Mozilla Firefox 47.0

After upgrading Firefox from 46.0 to 47.0 via apt-get, a slenium script does not work with FF47. This script worked well with  FF 46.0.
$ python /home/hattori/Python_works/selenium_Test06.py
E

FAILED (errors=1)

Here is a temporary solution I found.
remove firefox

$ sudo apt-get purge firefox

install FF46.0

$ wget https://sourceforge.net/projects/ubuntuzilla/files/mozilla/apt/pool/main/f/firefox-mozilla-build/firefox-mozilla-build_46.0.1-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb

$ sudo dpkg -i firefox-mozilla-build_46.0.1-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb

$ firefox --version
Mozilla Firefox 46.0.1

$ sudo apt-mark hold firefox

$ python /home/hattori/Python_works/selenium_test06.py
.
