That's the old way webdriver.Firefox() Firefox has messed it up some with DesiredCapabilities
And marionette can be True or False based on Firefox version.
This work for me,this setup is also in link over in my tutorial.
Now do i have geckodriver is folder as scripts.

from selenium import webdriver

#-- FireFox
caps = webdriver.DesiredCapabilities().FIREFOX
caps["marionette"] = True
browser = webdriver.Firefox(capabilities=caps)
url = "http://ign.com"
browser.get(url)

Chrome is easier.

from selenium import webdriver

#-- Chrome
browser = webdriver.Chrome()
url = "http://ign.com"
browser.get(url)
