Send keys event to a dom element, headless browser mode and normal mode behave differently, headless browser just opens a new tab
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.xpath("xpath"));
element.sendKeys(Keys.chord(Keys.META, Keys.RETURN));
in headless, to about:blank.
in normal, to link tab.

Is there a way to run selenium headless but have it display the window for example at the start of the application ? like:
show browser
login
do captcha
go --headless
execute tasks
Actually, this is possible.
You can peek into a headless browser by using the "--remote-debugging-port" argument in ChromeOptions. For example,
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_argument('--headless')
chrome_options.add_argument('--remote-debugging-port=9222') # Recommended is 9222
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=chrome_options)
Then while Selenium is running, you can go to http://localhost:9222 in your regular browser to view the headless session. Your browser will display links to each tab Chrome has open, and you can view/interact with each page by clicking on the links. You'll also be able to monitor Selenium/Chrome as Selenium runs its test.
Edit: As of Chrome 100 or so, you now need to go to the link chrome://inspect to view the headless session in your browser while Selenium is running.
You'll need to do some extra configuration as well. Basically:
Check the box for "Discover network Targets"
Hit "Configure..."
Add the link "localhost:9222" to the list of servers

Is there a way to resize testcafe popup window? I have a test clicking on an element opens a new browser, is there a way to maximize the opened browser? .maximizeWindow() maximized the initial browser
The resizing of popup windows will be available in Chrome-based browsers in v1.10.0. Meanwhile, you can test this functionality in the release candidate (v1.10.0-rc.2).
I am automating the application using selenium which is enabled with SSO(VIDM) integration which will take my system domain name and password. The moment I hit the application URL, It will process the SSO(VIDM) and displaying the browser pop up with SSL certificate , OK button. I am unable to locate "OK" button as inspect is blocked for that pop up.
Manual Work Around noticed: Able to select that certificate from the pop up with out clicking okay button by placing the cursor in Chrome driver address bar and then perform enter using the system keyboard.Please see the image here

I have created an application in selenium wherein it opens IE browser and enters user id and password by usind selenium's IE driver. However I want to prevent user from inspecting the auto data filled by selenium in the form. User can easily inspect the data using developer tools. So I want to know the way to disable developer tools options in selenium opened webpages.
Your help is highly appreciable.
Thanks.
Instantiate an instance of OpenQA.Selenium.Interactions.Actions then perform keystrokes for the F12 control. This should toggle on/off the developer tools in Chrome, IE, and Firefox.
I would also include a check to see if one of the controls from the devtools is there before toggling this, just to be sure that you don't turn them on instead of off.
c#:
OpenQA.Selenium.Interactions.Actions actions = new OpenQA.Selenium.Interactions.Actions([Instance of IWebDriver goes here]);
actions.SendKeys(OpenQA.Selenium.Keys.F12).Perform();
The application I am testing requires pop-up to be enabled. When a launch a new Firefox profile I get the browser message
Firefox prevented this site from opening a pop-up window
with a button on the right called Options. I can manually click the Options button and select to Allow popups from ....
Question is how can I use profile.setPreference to set to allow popups from my website and also not show this Firefox message?
You can save your current Firefox prifile with allowed popups and load it from file like in this case: https://stackoverflow.com/a/6830109/1165331
save you current working profile with popups via browser and loat it.
