Can't connect to Tor-Firefox via Watir

问题

I am having issues connecting to Tor via Ruby - Watir webdriver.

I use the Tor Browser Bundle. The problem is that when I try to connect via Watir (Selenium) I cannot seem to open Tor instead of regular Firefox.

Looking at similar issues I've tried the following:

require 'watir-webdriver'

profile = Selenium::WebDriver::Firefox::Profile.new

profile['network.proxy.socks'] = '127.0.0.1' #the proxy tor uses
profile['network.proxy.socks_port'] = 9150 #I cannot use 9050, 9150 works when I use Tor
profile['network.proxy.type'] = 1

browser = Watir::Browser.new :firefox, :profile => profile
browser.goto [an .onion website]

When I use the before-mentioned code I nonetheless still open the normal firefox browser, and cannot connect to onion sites.

Any thoughts? Is there another way in which I need to connect the Tor browser to my webdriver profile?

The answer:

First, open the Tor browser (it needs to be running already). Then, in your code, make sure to simply start with:

Selenium::WebDriver::Firefox::Binary.path='{location of start_tor_browser*}'
browser = Watir::Browser.new :firefox

*In my case: /home/tor/tor-browser_en-US/start-tor-browser

Nothing else is required - don't bother messing with profile
