Changing Firefox profiles not working anymore?

[Max]

Hi people,

I'm trying to change the Firefox profile, selecting a FF profile that I created specifically for Selenium Webdriver. I read many examples and it's very simple, three lines of code:

ProfilesIni firefoxProfile1 = new ProfilesIni();

FirefoxProfile seleniumProfile = firefoxProfile1.getProfile("selenium");

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(seleniumProfile);

When I execute the program, it opens Firefox with the default profile for Selenium (the empty one) and not the one I have configured.

Is this a problem with Geckodriver?

Is this a problem with a FF update?

Is this a Selenium 3.0 problem?

Thanks.

This is how I solved it - I had to add desired capabilities. Seems like it got more complex lately:

ProfilesIni profiles = new ProfilesIni();

FirefoxProfile seleniumProfile = profiles.getProfile("selenium");

DesiredCapabilities dc = DesiredCapabilities.firefox();

dc.setCapability(FirefoxDriver.PROFILE, seleniumProfile);

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(dc);

That would indicate that something is wrong with the mapping in the
Java binding’s FirefoxDriver ctor trickle-down mapping.
