WebDriver Tutorial - How to Open a Browser With Extensions

In this WebDriver tutorial we look at how we can use WebDriver to open Chrome and FireFox browsers with extensions using ChromeOptions and FirefoxProfile.

Open Chrome Browser With Extensions

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeOptions;

import java.io.File;

public class Tutorials {

    WebDriver driver;

    public void openChromwWithExtensions() {
        ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
        options.addExtensions(new File("src\test\resources\extensions\extension.crx"));
        driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
    }
}

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeOptions;

import java.io.File;

public class Tutorials {

WebDriver driver;

public void openChromwWithExtensions() {

ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();

options.addExtensions(new File("src\test\resources\extensions\extension.crx"));

driver = new ChromeDriver(options);

}

This will open a Chrome browser with the specified extension.

Open FireFox Browser with Extensions

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxProfile;

import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;

public class Tutorials {

    WebDriver driver;

    public void openFireFoxWithFirebug() {
        String firebugFilePath = "C:\FF_addons\firebug.xpi";
        FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();
        try {
            profile.addExtension(new File(firebugFilePath));
// Add more FF addons if required
        } catch (IOException err) {

        }
        driver = new FirefoxDriver(profile);
    }
}

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxProfile;

import java.io.File;

import java.io.IOException;

public class Tutorials {

WebDriver driver;

public void openFireFoxWithFirebug() {

String firebugFilePath = "C:\FF_addons\firebug.xpi";

FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();

try {

profile.addExtension(new File(firebugFilePath));

// Add more FF addons if required

} catch (IOException err) {

}

driver = new FirefoxDriver(profile);

}

This will open FireFox Browser with Firebug addon.
