How to acknowledge Firefox 'Security Warning' -dialogue

[Jussi Mononen]

Hi,

I have a test case which prompts us with a Firefox Security warning
dialogue. How do I click the "Continue" button in it? I have tried
"Confirm Action" and selecting window, neither worked. Is there
something I am missing or am I using aforementioned keywords
incorrectly?

Br,

Hi Jussi!

These keywords don't work with native dialogs, like the security
warnings. Selenium works by directing the browser with javascript and
some things (like bypassing security warnings) are not really stuff
that javascript is supposed to be able to do. You can google for more
information on selenium and security warnings.

One thing you could try, is creating a custom Firefox profile where
you disable the security warning in question. [1]

Another option (that works only in windows) is using the autoit
library for accessing the native elements. [2]

Regards,
Jussi
