Instapy error with smart_run line 117 causing failure

I am playing with instapy and I get the following error from the quickstart. This is my error I think selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: TypeError: browsingContextFn().currentWindowGlobal is null

""" Quickstart script for InstaPy usage """
# imports
from instapy import InstaPy
from instapy import smart_run

# login credentials
insta_username = ''  # <- enter username here
insta_password = ''  # <- enter password here

# get an InstaPy session!
# set headless_browser=True to run InstaPy in the background
session = InstaPy(username=insta_username,
                  password=insta_password,
                  headless_browser=False)

with smart_run(session):
    """ Activity flow """
    # general settings
    session.set_relationship_bounds(enabled=True,
                                    delimit_by_numbers=True,
                                    max_followers=4590,
                                    min_followers=45,
                                    min_following=77)

    session.set_dont_include(["friend1", "friend2", "friend3"])
    session.set_dont_like(["pizza", "#store"])

    # activity
    session.like_by_tags(["natgeo"], amount=10)

Can anyone point me in the right direction, I am new to python. Here is the error summary.

Go to line 1953 of ".../instapy/util.py" and change "PFL" to "VOEL". Worked for me on Windows 10, python 3.6.

EDIT:

Change line

explicit_wait(browser, "PFL", [], logger, 10)

to

explicit_wait(browser, "VOEL", [], logger, 10)
