Getting a Authentication PopUp during application Launch

Question

My script is getting failed during execution of my ruby script in water web-driver during firefox launch. The reason is that a authentication popup is getting show during the launch and the default URL will launched due to the policy set by the company & it can't be modified. So the script fails saying that not able to obtain a stable connection. Is there is any way to handle this in code as nothing can be changed from the policy side of my company.

See if AutoAuth works manually, and if so you can add it to your custom Firefox profile: https://stackoverflow.com/a/35918342/4072371

Code for Watir:

profile = Selenium::WebDriver::Firefox::Profile.new
profile.add_extension "../path/to/autoauth.xpi"
b = Watir::Browser.new :firefox, :profile => profile

If Titus's answer does not work, you might have to look into some way around that policy.. like running from a VM that is not part of your domain and not subject to policy enforcement. You could also try downloading a slightly different version of firefox, like maybe the ESR release, directly from mozilla, which might not have that policy set.
