Python Selenium binding with TOR browser

Question

I researched on it but I get that solution:

from selenium import webdriver
profile = webdriver.FirefoxProfile()
profile.set_preference('network.proxy.type', 1)
profile.set_preference('network.proxy.socks', '127.0.0.1')
profile.set_preference('network.proxy.socks_port', 9050)
driver = webdriver.Firefox(profile)
driver.get('http://estoeslapollaconcebol.la')

It gives that error:

Can't load the profile. Profile Dir: C:\Users\HPPAV1~1\AppData\Local\Temp\tmppcuwx3xd Firefox output: None

When I try that solution.

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.firefox_binary import FirefoxBinary
profile=webdriver.FirefoxProfile('C:\\Users\\HP PAV 15\\Desktop\\Tor     Browser\\Browser\\TorBrowser\\Data\\Browser\\profile.default\\')
binary =FirefoxBinary('C:\\Users\\HP PAV 15\\Desktop\\Tor Browser\\Browser\\firefox')
#browser = binary.launch_browser(profile)
profile.set_preference('network.proxy.type', 1)
profile.set_preference('network.proxy.socks', '127.0.0.1')
profile.set_preference('network.proxy.socks_port', 9150)
browser=webdriver.Firefox( binary, profile)
browser.get("http://yahoo.com")
browser.save_screenshot("/Users/admin/Pictures/screenshot.png")
browser.close()

It gives me the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:/Python34/torfirstscript.py", line 10, in browser=webdriver.Firefox( binary, profile) File "C:\Python34\lib\site-packages\selenium-2.43.0-py3.4.egg\selenium\webdriver\firefox\webdriver.py", line 46, in init self.NATIVE_EVENTS_ALLOWED and self.profile.native_events_enabled) AttributeError: 'FirefoxBinary' object has no attribute 'native_events_enabled'

By applying

browser=webdriver.Firefox( firefox_binary = binary, firefox_profile = profile)

I got this error:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Python34\torfirstscript.py", line 9, in browser=webdriver.Firefox( firefox_binary = binary, firefox_profile = >profile) File "C:\Python34\lib\site-packages\selenium-2.43.0->py3.4.egg\selenium\webdriver\firefox\webdriver.py", line 59, in init self.binary, timeout), File "C:\Python34\lib\site-packages\selenium-2.43.0->py3.4.egg\selenium\webdriver\firefox\extension_connection.py", line 47, in >init self.binary.launch_browser(self.profile) File "C:\Python34\lib\site-packages\selenium-2.43.0->py3.4.egg\selenium\webdriver\firefox\firefox_binary.py", line 64, in launch_browser self._wait_until_connectable() File "C:\Python34\lib\site-packages\selenium-2.43.0-py3.4.egg\selenium\webdriver\firefox\firefox_binary.py", line 108, in _wait_until_connectable self.profile.path, self._get_firefox_output())) selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: "Can't load the profile. Profile Dir: >C:\Users\HPPAV1~1\AppData\Local\Temp\tmpig7zvx_0\webdriver-py-profilecopy Firefox output: None"

with that image as output.

Answer 1

A working example with Selenium and Tor on windows :

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.firefox_profile import FirefoxProfile
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.firefox_binary import FirefoxBinary

binary = FirefoxBinary(r"C:\Program Files (x86)\TorBrowser\Browser\firefox.exe")
profile = FirefoxProfile(r"C:\Program Files (x86)\TorBrowser\Browser\TorBrowser\Data\Browser\profile.default")

driver = webdriver.Firefox(profile, binary)
driver.get("http://stackoverflow.com")
driver.save_screenshot("screenshot.png")
driver.quit()

Answer 2

Update selenium using:

pip install -U selenium

Then run your code, after starting TOR of course. This error was acknowledged and repaired.

P.S: Don't forget 'Sudo' if you are on Linux.

Answer 3

You are passing a FirefoxBinary instance as the first positional argument to the Firefox constructor, but, according to the definition, Firefox expects FirefoxProfile instance as the first positional argument.

Instead, just use keyword arguments:

browser = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_binary=binary, firefox_profile=profile)

And this gives a small bonus to readability.

Answer 4

Code for latest TOR installation on Windows:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.firefox_profile import FirefoxProfile
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.firefox_binary import FirefoxBinary

binary = FirefoxBinary(r"C:\Users\<Windows User>\Desktop\Tor Browser\Browser\firefox.exe")
profile = FirefoxProfile(r"C:\Users\<Windows User>\Desktop\Tor Browser\Browser\TorBrowser\Data\Browser\profile.default")

driver = webdriver.Firefox(profile, binary)
driver.get("http://stackoverflow.com")

Answer 5

I solved my similar problem on Windows:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.firefox_profile import FirefoxProfile
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.firefox_binary import FirefoxBinary

binary = FirefoxBinary(r"C:\Users\<Windows User>\Desktop\Tor Browser\Browser\firefox.exe")

driver = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_binary=binary)
driver.profile.set_preference('network.proxy.type', 1)
driver.profile.set_preference('network.proxy.socks', '127.0.0.1')
driver.profile.set_preference('network.proxy.socks_port', 9051)

driver.get("http://stackoverflow.com")

Answer 6

I tried something like this, and worked:

profile = webdriver.FirefoxProfile()
profile.set_preference('network.proxy.type', 1)
profile.set_preference('network.proxy.socks', '127.0.0.1')
profile.set_preference('network.proxy.socks_port', 9150)
driver = webdriver.Firefox(profile)

Open the Tor browser while you are doing this
