Question

What is the default profile for Selenium WebDriver when we use FireFox. 

If I used the default Firefox profile, and if I to disable a firefox plugin, then it will be disabled for Selenium WebDriver also? What is the reason for this?

Answer 1

While using Firefox in Selenium WebDriver 3.0, it will start a default profile automatically.

But, you can create your own profile and you can name it according to your choice.

Then you can use the below code:

 Profiles profile = new Profiles();
 FirefoxProfile fprofile = profile.getProfile("MyProfile");
 WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(fprofile);

Using this your Firefox Profile will start with a new profile always. You can change the settings according to your choice.
