I\'m trying to figure out how is possible to use selenium webdriver with python or java to inject javascript in order to modify browser property/attribute. My final object is to

Answer 1

I found the solution to the problem by following this post. In few words, by using an extensions it is possible to inject javascript code into the Web page also with firefox. In order to avoid a waste of time for the other users, the main files are:

Python file: selenium+firefox

import json
import os
import sys

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.common.exceptions import NoSuchElementException
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.firefox_profile import AddonFormatError

# Patch in support for WebExtensions in Firefox.
# See: https://intoli.com/blog/firefox-extensions-with-selenium/
class FirefoxProfileWithWebExtensionSupport(webdriver.FirefoxProfile):
    def _addon_details(self, addon_path):
        try:
            return super()._addon_details(addon_path)
        except AddonFormatError:
            try:
                with open(os.path.join(addon_path, "manifest.json"), "r") as f:
                    manifest = json.load(f)
                    return {
                        "id": manifest["applications"]["gecko"]["id"],
                        "version": manifest["version"],
                        "name": manifest["name"],
                        "unpack": False,
                    }
            except (IOError, KeyError) as e:
                raise AddonFormatError(str(e), sys.exc_info()[2])

profile_folder="profile_path"
profile=FirefoxProfileWithWebExtensionSupport(profile_folder)

profile.add_extension(extension_directory)
# firefox dev it is necessary for custom profile, not for standard one
firefox_binary="/usr/bin/firefox-dev"

options.set_headless(True)

Extensions files: manifest.js and content.js

{
  "manifest_version": 2,
  "name": "Smart Extension",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "applications": {
    "gecko": {
      "id": "user@protonmail.com"
    }
  },
  "content_scripts": [
    {
      "matches": ["*://*/*"],
      "js": ["content.js"],
      "run_at": "document_start"
    }
  ]
}

var script=document.createElement("script");
script.src=browser.extension.getURL("myscript.js");
script.async=false;
document.documentElement.appendChild(script);

Javascript file: myscript.js

// overwrite the `languages` property to use a custom getter
Object.defineProperty(navigator, "languages", {
  get: function() {
    return ["en", "es"];
  }
});

// Overwrite the `plugins` property to use a custom getter.
Object.defineProperty(navigator, "plugins", {
  get: () => new Array(Math.floor(Math.random() * 6) + 1),
});

// Pass the Webdriver test
Object.defineProperty(navigator, "webdriver", {
  get: () => false,
});

// hairline: store the existing descriptor
const elementDescriptor=Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor(HTMLElement.prototype, "offsetHeight");

// redefine the property with a patched descriptor
Object.defineProperty(HTMLDivElement.prototype, "offsetHeight", {
    ...elementDescriptor,
  get: function() {
    if (this.id === "modernizr") {
      return 1;
    }
    return elementDescriptor.get.apply(this);
  },
});

["height", "width"].forEach(property => {
  // store the existing descriptor
  const imageDescriptor=Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor(HTMLImageElement.prototype, property);

  // redefine the property with a patched descriptor
  Object.defineProperty(HTMLImageElement.prototype, property, {
    ...imageDescriptor,
    get: function() {
      // return an arbitrary non-zero dimension if the image failed to load
      if (this.complete && this.naturalHeight == 0) {
        return 24;
      }
      // otherwise, return the actual dimension
      return imageDescriptor.get.apply(this);
    },
  });
});

const getParameter=WebGLRenderingContext.getParameter;
WebGLRenderingContext.prototype.getParameter=function(parameter) {
  // UNMASKED_VENDOR_WEBGL WebGLRenderingContext.prototype.VENDOR
  if (parameter === 37445) {
    return "Intel Open Source Technology Center";
  }
  // UNMASKED_RENDERER_WEBGL WebGLRenderingContext.prototype.RENDERER
  if (parameter === 37446) { 
    return "Mesa DRI Intel(R) Ivybridge Mobile";
  }
  return getParameter(parameter);
};

This works well for all tests in graphical mode while in headless mode all tests except WebGL test which seems affect to a bug.
