~FIREFOX~ Selenium Instagram Bot is unable to locate Follow button to follow profiles despite trying By. XPATH, LINK_TEXT, CLASS_NAME etc

I am on VS Code and my Selenium Instagram Bot's intentional design is to read from a list of profiles from a .txt file, visit those profiles, follow and like a specified number of their posts(if they are private, it just follows them) then goes on to the next profile in the list, all the while using different pre-made bot accounts who's usernames are also on a list, so the code may iterate over them once a number of profiles have been engaged with by a single bot.
I am able to iterate over target profiles, but right now I am just having problems with locating elements and having them to be clicked by the bot. I got it to work on 1 profile, after going to the next profile, it simply didn't do anything and seems to can't find the follow button to click again(I can't recreate this, after some changes were made lol, just getting back into Python after briefly touching on it in school). I still haven't even seen the bot like a post too. Although, the XPATHS on the Log In and the Pop Ups seems to work. It's now just not interacting with the profiles.
~
Any insights would be highly appreciated!

Accessing an element for scraping data

I want to access the highlighted element. This is part of the html to access the sub comments section in 9gag website. I'm using this meme https://9gag.com/gag/a5EAv9O as an example input for the program.
I used the following code to access but it doesn't work.
sub_com_html = item.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, '//*/div/section/section[2]').Get_attribute("innerHTML")
Edit:
I'm able to access the section now and print some subcomments. Thanks to #Arundeep Chohan for correcting my silly mistake. But there's an issue. It’s accessing the sub comments section but its repeating the sub comments for different main comments. This screenshot is part of the output with main comment and sub comments as list. You can see that it’s repeating same data which is wrong. It's also giving the sub comments for only a few of the comments and skipping the rest. Theoretically it should work fine but I don't understand what's going wrong here.
This is the whole code I'm working with now. The goal is to scrape all the comments and sub comments of a meme.

Absolute Path: Selenium Xpath Can't Identify Element

I am attempting to identify an HTML Button with Xpath and have attempted both the relative and absolute Xpath without success. I am attempting to click the button.
The relative path:
click = webdriver.find.element_by_xpath("//onboarding-mobile-fixed-bottom-container/div[1]/div/sprout-button/button").click()
Absolute path: /html/body/cfapp-root/main/cfapp-spa-host/main/onboarding-root/div/div[1]/main/onboarding-business-phone/section/form/onboarding-next-button/onboarding-mobile-fixed-bottom-container/div[2]/sprout-button/button
absolute = webdriver.find.element_by_xpath("/html/body/cfapp-root/main/cfapp-spa-host/main/onboarding-root/div/div[1]/main/onboarding-business-phone/section/form/onboarding-next-button/onboarding-mobile-fixed-bottom-container/div[2]/sprout-button/button").click()
Even when using the absolute xpath (I know, frowned upon practice) I can't get the button to click.
For reference, I am automating: site: https://account.kabbage.com/onboarding/data/number-of-employees; Username: testingoverflow#aol.com; Pw: Kabbage123
(click finish applying; finish applying; working on the continue box)
Any help is much appreciated!!

You can use any of these Xpaths:

Xpath 1:

Xpath 2:

Give this a go:
webdriver.find_element_by_xpath("//button[#class="spr-btn spr-btn-primary" and contains(text(),'Continue')]").click()

Python web scraping with selenium : finding an element in modal box and downloading it - in loop

I would like to download files named "sprawozdanie merytoryczne" for 2017 year for each organzation in a Python loop.To download one manually you have to go to website:http://sprawozdaniaopp.mpips.gov.pl/ click button "Znajdź" and click on the name of organization - modal box will appear with a link to "sprawozdanie merytoryczne" for that particular organization. I wanted to do it automatically for all organizations. But I faced some problems. During first run through a loop everything is ok, first file is downloaded. But when it comes to second one it opens a modal window but it doesn't see "sprawozdanie merytoryczne", despite it is present. I think it is something wrong with switching to windows. I would be very grateful for any help. Here is my code:

The problem is once you open modal dialog it will stay in DOM even you close it. When you open second your locator find first one and try to click there.
Also you can config driver to directly download pdf without opening it.
Here code:

options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()

Python / Selenium : paste faster in browser

I have written a script in python to extract and paste 400-500 lines of text from one browser to another. I am using send_keys() to put the text content into the text area. It is writing line by line (2 lines / second) which is resulting in a few minutes to complete the operation. Is there any other method in Selenium to write faster (like how we paste manually in 1 second)?

You might try using Ctrl+A to select the text, Ctrl+C to copy it, move to new browser Ctrl+A to select all text in your target field (so that you'll replace it), Ctrl+V to paste. I could imagine that it may be faster, but I haven't done any benchmarking myself.
This question popped right up when I did a search. It has more details, but, for instance, your paste would look like this:
driver.find_element_by_id("unclosed-tag-finder-input").sendKeys(Keys.chord(Keys.CONTROL,"v"));
