Expected Behavior

i am trying to kick of an Instapy test by starting quickstart.py

Code is as follows:

imports
from instapy import InstaPy
from instapy import smart_run

login credentials
insta_username = 'xxx'
insta_password = 'xxx'

get an InstaPy session!
set headless_browser=True to run InstaPy in the background
session = InstaPy(username=insta_username,
password=insta_password,
headless_browser=False)

with smart_run(session):
""" Activity flow """
general settings
session.set_dont_include(["friend1", "friend2", "friend3"])

activity
session.like_by_tags(["natgeo"], amount=10)

Joining Engagement Pods
session.set_do_comment(enabled=True, percentage=35)
session.set_comments(comments)
session.join_pods(topic='sports', engagement_mode='no_comments')

##Current Behavior
Code is throwing errorcode:

I think it has something to do with the geckodriver, but this is installed in the right folder. I have also tried adding firefox manually to PATH but still no luck.

I used the installation folder to install Instapy, and using Python 3. It bugs me that it clearly states it actively refused it. I have tried turning my firewall off to see if it was blocking the connection but that didnt do anything.
