2.1 Profile for Firefox Browser

I have seen many people struggling for setting the firefox profile for a number of reasons due to some of the restrictions in the corporate companies.

Now there are two ways of setting proxy, either we set the proxy using ip and port number. or we set by the URL. The code snippet shows how to achieve the same using both the methods. The code snippet for setting proxy via URL is commented. Uncomment this code if you wish to use it and comment the other part.

Finally the code to accept security certificates is also mentioned in the snippet.

    @BeforeTest
    public void setup() {

        // The below proxy is a string that contains proxy ip and port
        // The port and ip is separated by ":" below you can see port is 80
        Proxy proxy = new Proxy();
        String proxyIp = "10.122.76.32:80";

        // Below lines sets the proxy defiend above
        proxy.setHttpProxy(proxyIp);
        proxy.setSslProxy(proxyIp);
        proxy.setFtpProxy(proxyIp);

        // In case you wish to set proxy with URL uncomment below code. and
        // comment the above 3 lines

        /*

        DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
        capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.PROXY, proxy);

        // Path to the copy of firefox installation. Here you can provide direct
        // path to your firefox installation also.
        System.setProperty("webdriver.firefox.bin",System.getProperty("user.dir")+ "toolsfirefoxfirefox.exe");

        // This is the path to the firefox profile you copied in your project.
        FirefoxProfile fp = new FirefoxProfile(new File(System.getProperty("user.dir")+ "toolsfirefoxDefaultProfile"));
