Install selenium basic from here. Then add a reference to selenium type library via vbe > tools > references. FireFox driver .exe must be in a folder that is on the environmental path or many users find putting it in the selenium folder works. I don't think you can use the latest FireFox versions. I think you need FF v.46.0.1.
