How can I configure selenium webdriver to use custom firefox setup for tests?

Question

I am using Ubuntu 11.04 and selenium 2.9.0 Here is how it is configured in my root pom:

    org.seleniumhq.selenium

As long as I know that the java command

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

will run the installed Firefox browser on your computer.

but reading the JavaDoc at http://selenium.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/docs/api/java/index.html I realised that there can be way how to override it:

FirefoxBinary binary = new FirefoxBinary(new File("path/to/binary"));
FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(binary, profile);
