I just discovered Waterfox, Mozilla's 64bit version of Firefox. Will Selenium work in Waterfox and how do you tell it that's the browser you want to use?

It's not Mozilla's 64bit version of FireFox, it's the FireFox code recompiled in 64bit by some random guy.

Good luck getting things working in it...

If you're desperate to try just set a custom binary location for FireFox driver:

I'm just starting playing with Python Selenium (for working with Adobe FlashPlayer ActionScript3 stuff that's now obsolete) & as my second script, got Selenium to successfully open WaterFox.
My change to Python script (from selenium-python.readthedocs.io/getting-started.html) was replacing
```
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
```
with
```
driver = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_binary = "/my/path/to/waterfox")
```
It started WaterFox, then closed - just like it did with FireFox
