Firefox webdriver opens first run page all the time
To turn off this annoying start page:
in C# with Selenium 2.48 I found the following solution:
FirefoxProfile prof = new FirefoxProfile();prof.SetPreference("browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone", "ignore");prof.SetPreference("startup.homepage_welcome_url.additional", "about:blank");Driver = new FirefoxDriver(prof);...and it will never bother you again.
Note: One of these settings alone will also work. I use them together to make it bullet-proof.
Ifound a solution, works fine
FirefoxProfile fp = new FirefoxProfile();fp.setPreference("browser.startup.homepage", "about:blank");fp.setPreference("startup.homepage_welcome_url", "about:blank");fp.setPreference("startup.homepage_welcome_url.additional", "about:blank");
I have faced the same problem. I have just changed the Selenium version to 2.48 and the problem solved.
