If you need This Firefox version specifically, I'd try bumping the Selenium version until it works, e.g. 2.47.0, 2.47.1 till 2.53.0. See releases here. If you look at the Firefox release date and the Selenium release date, you'll see you need something that was released around August 2015 ~ Selenium 2.47.1.

If the version doesn't matter, update your Firefox to the latest version, and use latest Selenium (3.0.1 for the time being), and additionally you'll need to download GeckoDriver and specify the path to it, like you do for ChromeDriver.
