Change of default directory path for rest_mozprofile from geckodriver

Question

Geckodriver creates rust_mozprofile directory in '/tmp' directory.

There is a way to modify the path from '/tmp' to '/home' or some other location.

Could you please point me in right direction on how to do that.

Currently I am using

I found this link - https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver#firefox-capabilities. But still can't able to fix it. — Yaswanth, Sep 12 '17 at 11:27
I didn't get any solution but the problem which I had was memory issues. So I wrote a cron job to clean up whatever it is older. — Yaswanth, Nov 27 '17 at 08:54

A solution is to use driver.quit() instead of driver.close()

As explained here

Another solution is to add a custom profile

fp = webdriver.FirefoxProfile('specify location to profile .default')
driver = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_profile=fp)
