Well, you can make you use of the Sikuli script to handle this Firefox Authentication popup in Windows as well as in Linux environment.

• Download and Setup Sikuli in Windows/Linux(Need to install dependencies)
• Use the following Sikuli Script to handle popup: where Authentilcat1.png is the popup image and it will handle 100 popups

for i in range (100): while exists(Pattern("Authentlcatl.png").similar(0.99)): print("Found Authentication Popup") wait(2) type("admin" + Key.TAB) type("admin" + Key.ENTER)

• Use the following code to trigger and terminate the Sikuli script from Java code:

To Trigger the Sikuli Script:

String[] lincmd = { "bash", "-c", "sudo java -jar Sikuli-X/Sikuli-IDE/sikuli-script.jar Sikuli-X/Sikuli-IDE/new1.sikuli/" };

java.lang.Runtime.getRuntime().exec(lincmd);

To Terminate the Sikuli Script:

String[] lincmd = { "bash", "-c", "sudo kill $(ps aux | grep '[s]ikuli' | awk '{print $2}')" };

java.lang.Runtime.getRuntime().exec(lincmd);

• After triggering the Sikuli script from Java code,Sikuli script will run as another process separately,so finally in the Java code terminating the Sikuli script.

• So whenever the popup appears in the screen,Sikuli script will handle.
