When I use selenium webdriver with a custom firefox profile I get the firefox Add-ons pop up showing 2 extensions: Firefx WebDriver 2.5.0 and Ubuntu Firefox Modifications 0.9rc2.
How can I get rid of this popup? I looked in the server jar to see if I could find the extensions, no luck. Looked online for the extensions, no luck. When I run the code without using the custom profile there is no popup.
You need to add an entry called extensions.newAddons to the profile’s preferences and set the value to false.
Start firefox with the custom profile
Type about:config in the address bar and press the enter key. Right-click the preference pane to open the context menu and go to New -> Boolean.
Enter extensions.newAddons for the preference name. Select false for the new boolean value.
The entry should prevent the new addon window from appearing when you start Firefox with that profile.
