Webdriver and proxy server for firefox

Question

are there any ways to set firefox\'s proxy settings? I found here information about FoxyProxy but when Selenium works, plugins are unactivated in window.

Answer 1

Just to add to the above given solutions.,

Adding the list of possibilities (integer values) for the "network.proxy.type".

0 - Direct connection (or) no proxy. 

1 - Manual proxy configuration

2 - Proxy auto-configuration (PAC).

4 - Auto-detect proxy settings.

5 - Use system proxy settings. 

So, Based on our requirement, the "network.proxy.type" value should be set as mentioned below.

FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();
profile.setPreference("network.proxy.type", 1);
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(profile);
