java - How to make FirefoxDriver use existing profile?

Question

I'm trying to tell the org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver of Selenium to use an existing profile along with its cookies and proxy settings, so I'm doing:

FirefoxProfile firefoxProfile = new FirefoxProfile(new File("C:\Users\name\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\u72231ej.other"));

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(firefoxProfile);

But it seems that a new profile is created no matter what.

Answer 1

FirefoxProfile ffprofile = new FirefoxProfile();
ffprofile.setPreference(); //Set your preference here
FirefoxDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(ffprofile);

You can get the list of preferences by typing about:config in the firefox address bar. New driver will have a profile with your settings applied.
