Testing Mozilla Firefox with Profiles

All changes that you make in Mozilla Firefox, for example your home page, what toolbars you use, any saved passwords, and your bookmarks, are all stored in a special folder, which is called a profile.

With Silk4NET, you can test Mozilla Firefox profiles by specifying either the name of the profile or the path to the profile in the base state of the application under test.
Using the name of the profile
You can use the name of the profile to specify the profile in a command line argument that you can add to the base state of the web application that you want to test. The following command line includes the name of the profile:
firefox.exe -p myProfile
You can configure the named profile in the Profile Manager. To start the Profile Manager, type firefox.exe -P into a command window.
Using the path to the profile
You can use the path to the profile to specify the profile in a command line argument that you can add to the base state of the web application that you want to test. The following command line includes the path to the profile:
firefox.exe -profile C:/<path to profile folder>
Note: If Mozilla Firefox is started by Silk4NET, an empty profile is used. This ensures that the test starts at a clean state. If the user manually starts Mozilla Firefox, the default profile is used.
