我如何通过Python Selenium在多个firefox二进制文件中选择要使用的firefox可执行文件

Question

I'm using python (v 3.65) selenium (v3.11.0) on Mac OS X (v 10.11.6) with firefox (v 59.0.3) and geckodriver (v 0.20.1). I have my usual firefox in the Applications folder and a second firefox in another folder. How can I tell python selenium to use the second firefox instead of going to the one in Applications?

I'd prefer an answer that generalises to other browsers besides firefox/geckodriver, if possible.

To choose and use one of the Firefox executable among multiple you can use the argument binary_location from firefox.options . As an example in the following code block I have used the Firefox Nightly binary to open the Firefox Nightly browser :

• Code Block :

   from selenium import webdriver from selenium.webdriver.firefox.options import Options options = Options() options.binary_location = r'C:\\Program Files\\Firefox Nightly\\firefox.exe' driver = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_options=options, executable_path=r'C:\\Utility\\BrowserDrivers\\geckodriver.exe') driver.get('http://google.com/') print("Firefox Browser Invoked") driver.quit() 

• Console Output :

   Firefox Browser Invoked
