DeprecationWarning: firefox_profile has been deprecated, please pass in an Options object
Here is the documentation for this: https://www.selenium.dev/documentation/webdriver/capabilities/driver_specific_capabilities/#setting-a-custom-profile
I tried this locally and it worked:
EDITED: I've changed the code, so there are no deprecation warnings
from selenium.webdriver import Firefox
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.service import Service
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.options import Options
profile_path = r'C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\y1uqp5mi.default'
options=Options()
options.set_preference('profile', profile_path)
service = Service(r'C:\WebDriver\bin\geckodriver.exe')
driver = Firefox(service=service, options=options)
driver.get("https://selenium.dev")
driver.quit()
This error message...
firefox_profile has been deprecated, please pass in an Options object
...implies that FirefoxProfile()
have been Deprecated and with selenium4 to use a custom profile you have to use an instance of Options
.
This DeprecationWarning was inline with the following CHANGELOGS:
-
Selenium 4 beta 1
- Deprecate all but
Options
andService
arguments in driver instantiation. (#9125,#9128)
- Deprecate all but
-
Selenium 4 beta 2
- Deprecate using a Firefox profile in Options
-
Selenium 4 Beta 3
- Only give deprecation warning if Profile is being used in options
All the configurations which was earlier set through profile.set_preference()
now can be set through options.set_preference()
as follows:
from selenium.webdriver import Firefox
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.service import Service
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.options import Options
profile_path = r'C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\s8543x41.default-release'
options=Options()
options.set_preference('profile', profile_path)
options.set_preference('network.proxy.type', 1)
options.set_preference('network.proxy.socks', '127.0.0.1')
options.set_preference('network.proxy.socks_port', 9050)
options.set_preference('network.proxy.socks_remote_dns', False)
service = Service('C:\\BrowserDrivers\\geckodriver.exe')
driver = Firefox(service=service, options=options)
driver.get("https://www.google.com")
driver.quit()
tl; dr
Setting a custom profile
