Quick selenium test with old Firefox on Windows

selenium_old_firefox_windows_test.py

# This helped me testing successfully python 2.7 x selenium x firefox 45 setup on windows 10
# Firefox 45 x86_46 was downloaded from http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/nightly/2016/05/2016-05-11-00-15-09-mozilla-esr45/
# and installed with the custom wizard option allowing non-automatic background upgrades (helps if firefox is started manually by yourself)

# Mashup inspired by https://stackoverflow.com/a/47785513/420684 and https://selenium-python.readthedocs.io/getting-started.html
