Package Exports
- firefox-profile
- firefox-profile/lib/profile_finder
This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (firefox-profile) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.
Readme
firefox-profile-js
Firefox Profile for Selenium WebdriverJS, admc/wd or any other library that allows you to set capabilities.
This class allows you to:
- create a firefox profile
- use an existing profile (by specifying a path)
- use an existing user profile (by specifying a name)
- add extensions to your profile,
- specify proxy settings,
- set the user preferences...
More info on user preferences here.
It also contains a command line interface that allows to copy or create profiles.
Installation
"real" npm support is on its way... soon... maybe... Open an issue if you need it... Use npm:
npm install firefox-profile
Usage
Make sure you have selenium server running... or use 'selenium-webdriver/remote' class.
Steps
- create a profile
- modify the profile:
- setPreference(key, value)
- addExtension(path/To/Extenstion.xpi) or addExtension(path/To/Unpacked/Extension/)
- create firefox capabilities and set the 'firefox_profile' capability
- attach the capabilitites to your webdriver

var webdriver = require('selenium-webdriver');

// you can add an extension by specifying the path to the xpi file
// or to the unzipped extension directory
myProfile.addExtension('test/extensions/firebug-1.12.4-fx.xpi', function() {
var capabilities = webdriver.Capabilities.firefox();
// you can set firefox preferences BEFORE calling encoded()
myProfile.setPreference('browser.newtab.url', 'http://saadtazi.com');
// attach your newly created profile
myProfile.encoded(function(encodedProfile) {
capabilities.set('firefox_profile', encodedProfile);
// start the browser
var wd = new webdriver.Builder().
withCapabilities(capabilities).
build();
// woot!
wd.get('http://en.wikipedia.org');
});
});

// done with prefs?
fp.updatePreferences();
// you can install multiple extensions at the same time
fp.addExtensions(['./test/extensions/firebug-1.12.4-fx.xpi'], function() {
fp.encoded(function(zippedProfile) {

browser.init({
browserName:'firefox',
// set firefox_profile capabilities HERE!!!!
firefox_profile: zippedProfile
}).
// woOot!!
get('http://en.wikipedia.org');
});
});
You can also copy an existing profile... Check the doc FirefoxProfile.copy(...)
.
