Firefox Profile

With Selenium WebDriver, it's possible to set a custom Firefox profile, which will be used during your automated tests on TestingBot.
To change preferences and settings within Firefox, you'll need to instantiate a new FirefoxProfile object and update the properties of the profile.

Change Firefox Profile

In the example below, we'll set the accept language to Spanish and change the user-agent header.

Copy code
require "rubygems"
require "selenium-webdriver"

profile = Selenium::WebDriver::Firefox::Profile.new
profile["general.useragent.override"] = "Custom-Agent"  # Change user-agent
profile["intl.accept_language"] = "es"  # Setting accept language to Spanish
caps = Selenium::WebDriver::Remote::Capabilities.firefox(:firefox_profile => profile)

caps["browserName"] = "Firefox"
caps["version"] = "latest"
caps["platform"] = "WIN10"
caps["name"] = "firefox profile example"

driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for(:remote,
  :url => "https://API_KEY:API_SECRET@hub.testingbot.com/wd/hub",
  :desired_capabilities => caps)
Copy code
String URL = "https://API_KEY:API_SECRET@hub.testingbot.com/wd/hub";
FirefoxOptions ffOptions = new FirefoxOptions();
FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();
profile.setPreference("general.useragent.override", "Custom-Agent");  // Change user-agent
profile.setPreference("intl.accept_languages", "es");  // Setting accept language to Spanish
ffOptions.setProfile(profile);
ffOptions.setCapability("browserName", "Firefox");
ffOptions.setCapability("version", "latest");
ffOptions.setCapability("platform", "WIN10");
ffOptions.setCapability("name", "firefox profile example");
WebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL(URL), ffOptions);
Copy code
<require_once('vendor/autoload.php');
use Facebook\WebDriver\Remote\RemoteWebDriver;
use Facebook\WebDriver\WebDriverBy;
use Facebook\WebDriver\Firefox\FirefoxProfile;

$profile = new FirefoxProfile();
$profile->setPreference('general.useragent.override', 'Custom-Agent');  // Change user-agent
$profile->setPreference('intl.accept_language', 'es');  // Setting accept language to Spanish

$caps = array(
  "version" => "latest",
  "browserName" => "Firefox",
  "platform" => "WIN10",
  "firefox_profile" => $profile,
  "name" => "firefox profile example"
);
$web_driver = RemoteWebDriver::create(
  "https://API_KEY:API_SECRET@hub.testingbot.com/wd/hub",
  $caps
);
