• This script is a work under progress and therefore may lack some features, please bear with it, and consider contributing if you have any fixes or improvements ☺️.

• In Windows the webdriver if found to misbehave if the script is forced to exit using ctrl^c. A good solution to this couldn't be found and a temporary fix have been implemented. And as such, please be noted that if you use ctrl^c to exit, your active firefox sessions or tabs have a good chance of crashing. (Note: ctrl^c doesn't have any issues in Linux)
