Selenium browsing with headless isn't working?

Question

I'm trying to use Selenium with a headless browser but when I run this code below it still opens the browser?

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys


def address_One():
    page_Number = 1
    while page_Number <= 15:
        with open("/home/admin-acc/Desktop/user-information.txt", mode="a") as writer:
            url = f"https://advanced.name/freeproxy?page={page_Number}"
            options = webdriver.FirefoxOptions()
            options.add_argument("--headless")
            driver = webdriver.Firefox(options=options)
            driver.get(url)
            all_ips = driver.find_elements_by_xpath('//td[@data-ip]')
            all_ports = driver.find_elements_by_xpath('//td[@data-port]')
        for ip, port in zip(all_ips, all_ports):
            print(ip.text, port.text)
        driver.quit()
        page_Number += 1


if __name__ == '__main__':
    address_One()

Answer 1

I did the below changes and it seems to be working fine :

Explanation : Instantiate the driver in IF clause, then pass it to the address_One like below :

def address_One(driver):
    page_Number = 1
    while page_Number <= 15:
        with open("/home/admin-acc/Desktop/user-information.txt", mode="a") as writer:
            url = f"https://advanced.name/freeproxy?page={page_Number}"
            driver.get(url)
            all_ips = driver.find_elements_by_xpath('//td[@data-ip]')
            all_ports = driver.find_elements_by_xpath('//td[@data-port]')
        for ip, port in zip(all_ips, all_ports):
            print(ip.text, port.text)
        driver.quit()
        page_Number += 1

if __name__ == '__main__':
    executablePath = r'C:\geckodriver.exe'
    options = webdriver.FirefoxOptions()
    options.add_argument("--headless")
    driver = webdriver.Firefox(executable_path = executablePath, options=options)
    address_One(driver)

Output :
