Webdriver: start Firerox-Browser in private mode

Post by Patrick Hollerbach » Fri Aug 23, 2019 9:54 pm

Hi there,

is it possible to execute a test with a webdriver endpoint in firefox private mode?

I need to use webdriver because ranorex instrumentation in firefox doesn't work here (because of restricted admin rights, long story, don't want to tell).

Thanks,
Patrick

Hi,

I’m not using webdriver, but I believe you must simply setup webdriver configuration for FF, similar as discussed here:
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=14065&p=54861

And argument for FF running in private mode, should be “private”.

Please add these details to your questions:
  • Ranorex Snapshot. Learn how to create one >here<
  • Ranorex xPath of problematic element(s)
  • Ranorex version
  • OS version
  • HW configuration

Hi,

you brought me on the right path, thank you!
Working config:

Code: Select all

{
   "browserName": "firefox",
   "moz:firefoxOptions": {
   "args": [
   "-private"
 ]
 }
}
