The firefox binary path that needs to be passed in FirefoxBinary('') should be the path for the executable 'firefox.exe'.

E.g.:

ff_binary = FirefoxBinary("C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Mozilla Firefox\\firefox.exe")
driver = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_binary=ff_binary)

PS: In your case, the path you've specified is the path where the firefox profile is stored normally.

Hope this helps.
