I just want to refresh an already opened web page with Selenium
.
It always opens a new browser window.
What I'm doing wrong?
from selenium import webdriver
import urllib
import urllib2
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.refresh()

I would suggest binding the driver element search to the tag body and use the refresh command of the browser.
In OSX for example
driver.find_element_by_tag_name('body').send_keys(Keys.COMMAND + 'r')
Documentation on keys here: http://selenium-python.readthedocs.org/en/latest/api.html
Update: The following code, very similar to your one, works fine for me.
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get(response.url) #tested in combination with scrapy
time.sleep(3)
driver.refresh()
Are you sure you correctly load the web page with the driver before refreshing it ?
You can try any one of the below methods for the same.
Method 1:
driver.findElement(By.name("s")).sendKeys(Keys.F5);
Method 2:
driver.get(driver.getCurrentUrl());
Method3:
driver.navigate().to(driver.getCurrentUrl());
Method4:
driver.findElement(By.name("s")).sendKeys("\uE035");
The problem is you are opening the webdriver and then trying to refresh when you have not specified a URL.
All you need to do is get your desired URL before refreshing:
from selenium import webdriver
import urllib
import urllib2
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get("Your desired URL goes here...")
#now you can refresh the page!
driver.refresh()
