How to use a already opened firefox for testing in Selenium

Question

This declaration

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

always opens a new instance window of Firefox. It doesn\'t use the already opened

Answer 1

In Java, when you say new a new object is instantiated. For WebDriver, every new is a new browser window.

If you want the same browser to be used then use the same driver object.

driver.get("URL PATH");

This will go to the new Url with the already open browser.
