I want to add java 6 plugin to firefox profile using java code and selenium.
Please any one help how to add plugin to profile
File file = new File("java 6 plugin file");
FirefoxProfile firefoxProfile = new FirefoxProfile();
firefoxProfile.addExtension(file);
firefoxProfile.setPreference("extensions.firebug.currentVersion", "1.8.1");
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(firefoxProfile);

I'm trying to use webdrivermanager library to load firefox driver in my selenium tests. I'm unable to load a specific firefox profile using this library. Here is what i'm trying to do:
FirefoxDriverManager.getInstance().setup() // To instantiate the firefox driver
ProfilesIni Prof = new ProfilesIni();
FirefoxProfile profile = Prof.getProfile("C:\\Users\\AppData\\Roaming\\Mozilla\\Firefox\\Profiles\\6xv9ndwh.SELENIUM");
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(profile);
But this instantiates a new driver and does not force the driver instantiated by firefoxdrivermanager to use the specific profile.
I tried using default gecko driver too that does not load the profile either. Here is the code that i'm trying:
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "C:\\geckodriver\\geckodriver-v0.20.0-win64\\geckodriver.exe");
ProfilesIni allProfiles = new ProfilesIni();
FirefoxProfile Profile = allProfiles.getProfile('default');
Profile.setAcceptUntrustedCertificates(true);
Profile.setAssumeUntrustedCertificateIssuer(false);
driver = new FirefoxDriver(Profile);
Can someone help me on this please?
First of all create a new firefox profile
steps for it are
1. Run this command firefox.exe -p in run window
It will show this dialog box create profile with new name and exit the window.
After that perform this command in webdriver
System.setProperty("webdriver.firefox.marionette", "Path to the exe of firefox driver");
ProfilesIni profile = new ProfilesIni();
FirefoxProfile myprofile = profile.getProfile("UrProfile Name which u created");
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(myprofile);
driver.get("http://www.google.com");
Hope it may help u...
This worked for me (though not using webdrivermanager) for instantiating webdriver using Gradle:
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.firefox();
capabilities.setCapability("marionette", true);
capabilities.setCapability("acceptInsecureCerts", true);
driver = {new FirefoxDriver(capabilities)}
I read everywhere that this is the code used to load an existing profile:
ProfilesIni profile = new ProfilesIni();
FirefoxProfile ffprofile = profile.getProfile("SELENIUM");
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(ffprofile);
I have created one profile with that name and everything is ok. But it keeps loading the default selenium profile.
I'm using Selenium 3.0.1 with Java and Firefox 50.0.2 which is the last version in my country at least.
Any idea of why this is happening? thanks!
You should put profile to capabilities at first.
ProfilesIni profile = new ProfilesIni();
FirefoxProfile ffprofile = profile.getProfile("SELENIUM");
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(ffprofile);
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.firefox();
capabilities.setCapability(FirefoxDriver.PROFILE, profile);
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(capabilities);
I have included firebug when launching firefox driver and it works very fine with latest selenium web driver 3.0 but meanwhile it also opens new firebug tab every time when launching browser.
As code says, i have included firebug file and added this extension in created profile. Is there any way to close the firebug tab automatically after launching the browser? If there is no automatic way then i need to use tweak to close window named "Firebug" right?
Code:
File file = new File("./firebug-2.0.17-fx.xpi");
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", config.getStringProperty("geckodriver.path"));
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.firefox();
FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();
profile.addExtension(file);
capabilities.setCapability(FirefoxDriver.PROFILE, profile);
capabilities.setCapability("marionette", true);
webDriver = new FirefoxDriver(capabilities);
You can set the "showFirstRunPage" flag to "false" in your porfile.
FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();
profile.setPreference("extensions.firebug.showFirstRunPage", false);
Here is a link to all firebug preferences you can set.
Firebug Preferences
An other solution is to set the "currentVersion" to a big number like this.
profile.setPreference("extensions.firebug.currentVersion", "999");
I prefer the first on ;)
I was looking for automatically closing Firebug window but i think its not possible so posting an answer to handle opened windows after launching firebox browser with firebug capabilities, unfortunately you need to deal with extra lines of code due to this issue :)
Below solution it works fine, just use it like below:
Working code:
File file = new File("./firebug-2.0.17-fx.xpi");
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", config.getStringProperty("geckodriver.path"));
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.firefox();
FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();
profile.addExtension(file);
capabilities.setCapability(FirefoxDriver.PROFILE, profile);
capabilities.setCapability("marionette", true);
webDriver = new FirefoxDriver(capabilities);
// Close the firebug window
Thread.sleep(4000); // Firebug window takes time to open it
Set <String> windows = webDriver.getWindowHandles();
String mainwindow = webDriver.getWindowHandle();
for (String handle: windows) {
webDriver.switchTo().window(handle);
if (!handle.equals(mainwindow)) {
webDriver.close();
}
}
webDriver.switchTo().window(mainwindow);
I need your help to set up my Firefox profile with Firebug. What I'd like to have is to have the Firebug add-on to be loaded with the Firefox instance when I start it via Selenium WebDriver. Here is sample of my code:
final File file = new File("C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Gecko\\bin\\geckodriver.exe");
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", file.getAbsolutePath());
FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();
profile.setPreference("?");
So... how can I set the setPreference value, so that Firebug is loaded together with Firefox when the Selenium WebDriver starts the browser?
You have to add the extension instead of setting the preference:
final String firebugPath = "C:\\FF_Profile\\firebug.xpi";
FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();
profile.addExtension(new File(firebugPath));
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(profile);
You can find the Firebug path following this instructions:

Here is the code:
// Tell cucumber where the geckodriver is located in your environment
final File file = new File("C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Gecko\\bin\\geckodriver.exe");
// Get the absolute path to the Gecko Driver
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", file.getAbsolutePath());
final String firebugPath= "C:\\Users\\<My username>\\AppData\\Roaming\\Mozilla\\Firefox\\Profiles\\erx927l4.default\\extension s\\firebug#software.joehewitt.com.xpi";
// Set up the Firefox browser profile
FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();
profile.addExtension(new File(firebugPath));
// bring up the browser
driver = new FirefoxDriver(profile);
I tried to add these codes to the comments section but it won't let me format the text so I have to post them in the "Post Your Answer" section.. sorry
I am writing a webapp that has a browser plugin component for both firefox and chrome. My current testing system uses a series of Selenium tests created through Selenium IDE.
Is it possible to also have selenium install, activate, and delete browser plugins for firefox and chrome (possibly other browsers as well)?
I think the biggest concern is that installing/enabling the browser plugin requires a browser restart, and I'm not sure if that would through selenium off.
The acquisition of the plugin is easily handled by visiting an internal site-link to a php-script that detects your browser.
The answer is Yes, Selenium 2 supports (remote) installation of browser extensions.
The Chrome and Firefox WebDriver support the installation of extensions, remotely. Here's sample code for Chrome and Firefox:
Chrome
File file = new File("extension.crx"); // zip files are also accepted
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addExtensions(file);
// Option 1: Locally.
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
// Option 2: Remotely
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();
capabilities.setCapability(ChromeOptions.CAPABILITY, options);
WebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("http://localhost:4444/wd/hub"), capabilities);
Firefox
File file = new File("extension.xpi");
FirefoxProfile firefoxProfile = new FirefoxProfile();
firefoxProfile.addExtension(file);
// Option 1: Locally
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(firefoxProfile);
// Option 2: Remotely
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.firefox();
capabilities.setCapability(FirefoxDriver.PROFILE, firefoxProfile);
WebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("http://localhost:4444/wd/hub"), capabilities);
I have also implemented automated installation of Opera and Safari extensions, and they have been merged upstream:
OperaDriver: https://github.com/operasoftware/operadriver/pull/93
SafariDriver: https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/pull/87
Opera
This API is similar to the FirefoxDriver.
File file = new File("extension.oex"); // Must end with ".oex"
OperaProfile operaProfile = new OperaProfile();
operaProfile.addExtension(file);
// Option 1: Locally
WebDriver driver = new OperaDriver(operaProfile);
// Option 2: Remotely
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.opera();
capabilities.setCapability("opera.profile", operaProfile);
WebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("http://localhost:4444/wd/hub"), capabilities);
Safari
This API is similar to the ChromeDriver.
File file = new File("extension.safariextz");
SafariOptions options = new SafariOptions();
options.addExtensions(file);
// Option 1: Locally.
WebDriver driver = new SafariDriver(options);
// Option 2: Remotely
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.safari();
capabilities.setCapability(SafariOptions.CAPABILITY, options);
WebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("http://localhost:4444/wd/hub"), capabilities);
Internet Explorer
Good luck.
Short answer: no
Installing a browser extension is outside of the scope of handling in Selenium.
In Chrome, it displays a modal window that is not "clickable" with Selenium when you want to add a plugin or app. Chrome does not require restarting.
Firefox has the same kind of behaviour to prompt for extension permissions.
You can try something that resides outside of the browser to do what you want. Sikuli might do the trick.
