Selenium WebDriver - launches firefox with IE tab options




So you are trying to do the most basic thing : launch firefox


Webdriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

Firefox browser does open up, but in the foreground IETab+Options tool bar keeps popping up.

You repeat the steps manually and nothing!

How will you disable this add on so that a blank clean browser opens up in FF?




What you need to do is to launch your default profile when launching Firefox.


ProfilesIni profile = new ProfilesIni();

FirefoxProfile ffprofile = profile.getProfile("default");

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(ffprofile);


These generally require the following imports:

import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxProfile;


import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.internal.ProfilesIni;

Happy Learning!


If this does not work then create a new profile , disble the addon IETab and save the profile
ProfilesIni profile = new ProfilesIni();

FirefoxProfile ffprofile = profile.getProfile("SeleniumProfile");

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(ffprofile);
