Question

import webbrowser

a_website = "https://www.google.com"

driver = webbrowser.open_new('https://www.facebook.com/?_rdc=2&_rdr')

username = ''
password = ''

driver.find_element_by_id('email').send_keys(username)
driver.find_element_by_id('pass').send_keys(password)
driver.find_element_by_id('loginbutton').click()

@MatthewGaiser I'm assuming OP is confusing the built-in [webbrowser library](https://docs.python.org/3/library/webbrowser.html) (which is really not very full-featured) with Selenium. They appear to be using commands that don't exist in webbrowser, but do in Selenium, without importing it. OP, please clarify your code — G. Anderson, Jan 21 '20 at 19:41

Facebook doesn't allow you to interact automatically with facebook.com. Use the API. — WizKid, Jan 21 '20 at 20:28

Use webdriver not webbrowser. Just changing your code to use that instead fixes your problem. The full code is below.

from selenium import webdriver
a_website = "https://www.google.com"

driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get('https://www.facebook.com/?_rdc=2&_rdr')

username = 'aaaaaaaaa'
password = 'aaaaaaaaaaaaa'

driver.find_element_by_id('email').send_keys(username)
driver.find_element_by_id('pass').send_keys(password)
driver.find_element_by_id('loginbutton').click()
