How to use an existing Firefox profile with Selenium 4 and Python

[Tissi_2]

Hi everybody!

What is the right syntax to use an existing Firefox profile? This is what I got so far:

options= Options()
FirefoxBinary = 'C:/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/firefox.exe'
FirefoxProfile = 'C:/Users/Tissi/AppData/Roaming/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/xx513scw.Selenium_Test'
service = Service(r'C:\Python310x64\geckodriver')
driver = webdriver.Firefox(service=service, options=options)

It runs, but in the existing profile I have a chrome folder with userChrome.css. that prevents the top bar to appear when hovering the mouse pointer at the top of the browser window.

I see that the geckodriver creates a rust_profile in the temp folder, but the created chrome folder with my userChrome.css is missing. I think that my syntax is not right.

Any ideas?

Best regards

Hello

 

Have you try with private navigation ? (perhaps)

 

Exemple with edge in c#:

 

var edgeOptions = new EdgeOptions

                {

                    UseChromium = true,

                };

                if (privateNav)

                {

                    edgeOptions.AddArgument("inprivate");

                }

 

 

Hope this helps

Thanks for your idea! I would like to stick to python and Firefox, and I think that the bold lines only takes care of not saving any data that was created/loaded while browsing.
