How To Run A Selenium Server With A Firefox Profile

Due to Firefox Certification issues each and every time you may need to accept the security certificate.
so you may feel the testing framework is not fully automate or accepting this security certificate each and every time is a really headache.

you have two options to get rid of this

1.use a valid certificate (you can not do this all the time) :)

2.ask selenium to run FF with a profile.

i'm going to tell how to do the option 2

1.create a Firefox profile (if u need help refer "" written by me).
2.start Firefox from the new profile and accept the security exception.(you will need to do this only once)
3. start Selenium server
java -jar selenium-server.jar -firefoxprofileTemplate
eg.
java -jar selenium-server.jar -firefoxprofileTemplate /home/darshana/newProfile

here newProfile is the location where i saved the new profile.

4.next time when you start the Selenium server, repeat only the 3 step..

have a nice time with testing ....
