How to create your custom firefox profile for running selenium webdriver tests

Hi Guys,

Again I am not going to crown someone else's work to my name. So I am just sharing a link to video demonstrating the same.

I would like to share you why I need to create firefox profile for selenium. It is because I was stuck at a problem where I can only access site if I have certificate installed on firefox provided by the site owner. It was for security purpose.

With default firefox profile I can not able to achieve this. So I created a separate new profile for selenium and installed client side certificate in selenium firefox profile.
Then it becomes possible to access site. I just loaded selenium firefox profile instead of default.

Hope you guys find this out of this problem by reading this post.

Happy Testing,

Panchdev  :)

Few essential tools to know as a Software Engineer in Test

After so long I got time to see at my own blog and have something interesting to share with internet community.

1) I found a great chrome app for sharing your desktop and taking control of remote desktop. The app is named "Chrome Remote Desktop". You can search for it on google or can directly go to app with following link

Make sure first you are in Chrome browser for a while.

2) Now I would like share a app which remembers passwords for you. So that you can focus on some important stuff as site says about this app.
