Selenium module's webdriver.Firefox() not working [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
WebDriverException: 'geckodriver' executable needs to be in PATH even though it is

'geckodriver' executable needs to be in PATH using GeckoDriver and Firefox through Selenium
(2 answers)
Closed last year.
I will provide my code, with included error message. I believe I need to move the gecko driver to PATH, but I tried to do some research on how to do this and unfortunately I didn't find anything definitive. I'm hoping that someone could give me a hand.

Issue with selenium chrome driver saying I have the wrong permission

This is my code
def driver():
length_of_string = 5
random_string = "".join(random.choice(string.ascii_letters) for i in range(length_of_string))
driver = webdriver.Chrome() # Ex. Mine is "C:\Users\Tevin\Downloads\chromedriver"
For some reason, calling the driver doesn't work. I've tried everything.
I put in the executable path directly and that also had the same error.
I installed the correct version of chromedriver
I also have the chromedriver in my env variables
This is the error I get
warnings.warn("urllib3 ({}) or chardet ({}) doesn't match a supported "

What should I do?

You need to download chromedriver from here
and once downloaded, you should define in your code like this :
driver = webdriver.Chrome("C:/Users/*****/Downloads/chromedriver_win32/chromedriver.exe")

Mac: Selenium Error, Permission Error and selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException

The error is

While my code is

PATH = "/Users/erwinmac1/Desktop/Chrome zip"
driver = webdriver.Chrome(PATH)
driver.get("https://www.youtube.com")
I don't know why this shows an error I've re-installed it a couple of times and it still shows this error any helps??

Your path is invalid (PATH = "/Users/erwinmac1/Desktop/Chrome zip")
go to your desktop and edit name of chromedriver as chromedriver and refresh project and rerun

Python Selenium " 'geckodriver' executable needs to be in PATH"

Even though I have already put geckodriver in there and I restarted my computer, it still prints the same thing.

And an error before that as well! Someone please help a newbie out. Image of the Path variable

You need to mention the path of the gecko driver executable. Below line will get you some idea.
driver=webdriver.Firefox(executable_path="add geckodriver.exe")
Hope this helps. Thanks.
