How to add extension in firefox driver in Java using selenium

Question

How to add extension in firefox driver in selenium in Java

Have tried below possibilities.

1st tried Solution

FirefoxOptions firefoxOptions = new FirefoxOptions();
FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();
profile.addExtension(new File("/usr/local/bin/foxyproxy_standard-6.6.2-an+fx.xpi"));
profile.setPreference("extensions.firebug.currentVersion", "1.8.1");
firefoxOptions.setProfile(profile);
WebDriver firefoxDriver = new FirefoxDriver(firefoxOptions);

It is not giving any error but it is starting without any extension.

Used dependancy

    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
      <artifactId>selenium-java</artifactId>
      <version>3.12.0</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>io.github.bonigarcia</groupId>
      <artifactId>webdrivermanager</artifactId>
      <version>3.2.0</version>
    </dependency>

2nd tried Solution

FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();
profile.addExtension(new File("/usr/local/bin/foxyproxy_standard-6.6.2-an+fx.xpi"));
profile.setPreference("extensions.firebug.currentVersion", "1.8.1");
WebDriver firefoxDriver = new FirefoxDriver(profile);

It is also not giving any error but it is starting without any extension.

Used dependancy

    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
      <artifactId>selenium-java</artifactId>
      <version>3.0.0-beta4</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>io.github.bonigarcia</groupId>
      <artifactId>webdrivermanager</artifactId>
      <version>3.2.0</version>
    </dependency>

3rd tried Solution

Created manually profile from firefox. 1. Open default firefox 2. about:prfiles 3. Created new profile as 'TestProfile' 4. Launch profile in new browser 5. Add some add ons 6. Close browser 7. And then execute below code.

    ProfilesIni profilesIni = new ProfilesIni();
    FirefoxOptions firefoxOptions = new FirefoxOptions();
    FirefoxProfile profile = profilesIni.getProfile("TestProfile");
    firefoxOptions.setProfile(profile);
    WebDriver firefoxDriver = new FirefoxDriver(firefoxOptions);

This is also not working

I have tried with chrome driver also it is working fine but chromedriver does not have extension support in headless mode so need to use firefox webdriver.

I have tried all solution are given already but none of them is working

So please guid me what to do.

Try with FF68,selenium-java 4.0.0-alpha-2 and v0.24.0 .Tried on windows machine . Extension loaded properly without any issue. ` FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile(); profile.addExtension(new File("foxyproxy_basic-5.5-an+fx.xpi")); options.setProfile(profile); ` — Rahul L, Aug 22 '19 at 05:12

This only works in 4.0.0 alpha version? I am trying it for 3.141.59 but it doesn't work – Ahmet Aziz Beşli Mar 06 '20 at 08:59
Checked with Selenium-java 3.141.59 ,geckodriver 0.26.0 (e9783a644016 2019-10-10 13:38 +0000) + FF72 . Its working fine. – Rahul L Mar 06 '20 at 11:12
uhh really?, I can't really add the extension. Its totally same code. – Ahmet Aziz Beşli Mar 06 '20 at 11:34
Can you please add more information about how you create the driver? I mean the whole code, if possible – Ahmet Aziz Beşli Mar 06 '20 at 11:59
`FirefoxOptions optionsFF = new FirefoxOptions(); FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile(); profile.addExtension(new File("foxyproxy_basic-5.5-an+fx.xpi")); optionsFF.setProfile(profile); optionsFF.setLogLevel(FirefoxDriverLogLevel.TRACE);//for logs driver = new FirefoxDriver(optionsFF); ` – Rahul L Mar 06 '20 at 12:03

I did it, the problem was when you are trying to install your own extension and if you forgot to add application and minimum browser version tags, it won't work... – Ahmet Aziz Beşli Mar 06 '20 at 15:26
@AhmetAzizBeşli What is the syntax for the application and minimum browser tags? I trying to use the former code but I didn't manage to load an extension in Firefox (I'm using WebDriver 4.0.0-beta-4) – Boni García Aug 25 '21 at 17:17
@BoniGarcía "applications": { "gecko": { "id": "ahmet.besli@hotmail.com0", "strict_min_version": "52.0" } }, – Ahmet Aziz Beşli Aug 26 '21 at 10:40
@BoniGarcía https://easyupload.io/gz16ap here is a old example of mine, you can check, I was just using it to block google's urls – Ahmet Aziz Beşli Aug 26 '21 at 10:42
