Get profile of firefox ProfilesIni not selecting given profiles when profile count more than 3 including default

Question

Below code didn't changed FF profile when I am having 3(randomly created nos.) custom FF profiles and 1 default.

WebDriver driver;
    String profilepath = "<user Dir>/Local/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/";
    ProfilesIni profilesini = new ProfilesIni();
    FirefoxProfile firefoxprofile = new FirefoxProfile(new File(profilepath));
    firefoxprofile = profilesini.getProfile("profile_1");
    driver = new FirefoxDriver(firefoxprofile);

FF profiles are : profile_1, profile_2 and profile_3. When I run the code FF launched with either 'profile_2 or default'. Not with passed profile name (profile_1)

Am using selenium-sever standalone 2.53.0 and FF 46.0 on Win 10, 64 bit.

Answer 1

If you want to launch a custom firefox profile. This is how you do it.

First you create an object of ProfilesIni then you get the desired firefox profile using getProfile() and then that particular profile is passed to WebDriver initialization.

ProfilesIni profiles = new ProfilesIni();
FirefoxProfile profile = profiles.getProfile("profile_1");
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(profile);

Hope it helps!
