This is likely because you are attempting to run the browser in non-headless mode, but your remote server doesn't have a visual display.

To circumvent this, try running Selenium in headless mode by adding the --headless argument to the browser.

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver import FirefoxOptions

opts = FirefoxOptions()
opts.add_argument('--headless')
browser = webdriver.Firefox(options=opts)

browser.get('https://example.com')

This answer has more information.
