Python Selenium decipher error message

I am trying to track down an error in Python Selenium. The error message is..

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\myscipt\main.py", line 110, in <module>
    source_mysource(func1, func2, func3, func4, func5, func6, func7, func8, func9)
  File "C:\myscipt\sources\functions.py", line 132, in source_mysource
    current_url = driver.current_url
  File "C:\Users\tom\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\remote\webdriver.py", line 454, in current_url
    return self.execute(Command.GET_CURRENT_URL)['value']
  File "C:\Users\tom\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\remote\webdriver.py", line 201, in execute
    self.error_handler.check_response(response)
  File "C:\Users\tom\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\remote\errorhandler.py", line 193, in check_response
    raise exception_class(message, screen, stacktrace, value['alert'].get('text'))
selenium.common.exceptions.UnexpectedAlertPresentException: Alert Text: To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier.
<super: <class 'WebDriverException'>, <UnexpectedAlertPresentException object>>

Is the error saying that the line current_url = driver.current_url is the one that is triggering the error or is it the next line?

When you use .current_url property of a WebDriver instance, a GET_CURRENT_URL webdriver command is sent, which is triggering an error in your case. What happens is, the currently opened web-page is not the current top-level browsing context because of the alert being present, and, according to the specification, it should and fails with an error.

In other words, current URL cannot be retrieved when there is an opened active alert.
