Set Firefox Profile
Set a custom Firefox Profile for your tests that run on Firefox browsers in BrowserStack Automate
To change the preferences within Firefox, instantiate a new FirefoxProfile object and update the preferences of the profile. Check out more preferences at the MozillaZine Knowledge Base.
In this example, a custom Firefox Profile is used to disable Flash and accept French language in Firefox. You can make as many settings like these as you want.
// Using a custom Firefox Profile to disable Flash and set French as language
String URL = "https://YOUR_USERNAME:YOUR_ACCESS_KEY@hub-cloud.browserstack.com/wd/hub";
FirefoxOptions ffOptions = new FirefoxOptions();
FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();
profile.setPreference("intl.accept_languages", "fr"); // Setting the locale language to accept French
profile.setPreference("plugin.state.flash", 0); // Disabling Flash using Firefox profile
// More profile settings can be set using statements like above
ffOptions.setProfile(profile);
ffOptions.setCapability("browser", "Firefox");
ffOptions.setCapability("os", "Windows");
