Webdriver and proxy server for firefox

Question

are there any ways to set firefox\'s proxy settings? I found here information about FoxyProxy but when Selenium works, plugins are unactivated in window.

Answer 1

Value for network.proxy.http_port should be integer (no quotes should be used) and network.proxy.type should be set as 1 (ProxyType.MANUAL, Manual proxy settings)

FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();
profile.setPreference("network.proxy.type", 1);
profile.setPreference("network.proxy.http", "localhost");
profile.setPreference("network.proxy.http_port", 3128);
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(profile);

Answer 2

Preferences -> Advanced -> Network -> Connection (Configure how Firefox connects to the Internet)

Answer 3

There is another solution, i looked for because a had problems with code like this (it s set the system proxy in firefox):

FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();
profile.setPreference("network.proxy.http", "localhost");
profile.setPreference("network.proxy.http_port", "8080");
driver = new FirefoxDriver(profile);

I prefer this solution, it force the proxy manual setting in firefox. To do that, use the org.openqa.selenium.Proxy object to setup Firefox :

FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();
localhostProxy.setProxyType(Proxy.ProxyType.MANUAL);
localhostProxy.setHttpProxy("localhost:8080");
profile.setProxyPreferences(localhostProxy);
driver = new FirefoxDriver(profile);

if it could help...

Answer 4

The WebDriver API has been changed. The current snippet for setting the proxy is

FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();
profile.setPreference("network.proxy.http", "localhost");
profile.setPreference("network.proxy.http_port", "3128");
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(profile);

In case if you have an autoconfig URL -

        FirefoxProfile firefoxProfile = new FirefoxProfile();
        firefoxProfile.setPreference("network.proxy.type", 2);
        firefoxProfile.setPreference("network.proxy.autoconfig_url", "http://www.etc.com/wpad.dat");
        firefoxProfile.setPreference("network.proxy.no_proxies_on", "localhost");
        WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(firefoxProfile);

Answer 6

Look at the documentation page.

Tweaking an existing Firefox profile

You need to change "network.proxy.http" & "network.proxy.http_port" profile settings.

FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();
profile.addAdditionalPreference("network.proxy.http", "localhost");
profile.addAdditionalPreference("network.proxy.http_port", "3128");
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(profile);
