Privacy Extentions

[MaazBinMusa]

Is there any support of privacy extensions? I used seleniums install_addon and gave it an xpi of UBO. It seemed to load the extension just fine.

However I am unable to change selected filter lists. Previously updating storage.js file would do the trick. However I am unable to go around this problem at the moment.

Hey,
Have a look at #941
Basically, you have to install the add-on manually on a preferably fresh profile, then package up that and set it as the seed_profile for your crawl.

Hey thanks!

I am instead doing this in deploy_firefox.py after webdriver is launched.

driver.install_addon(os.path.join(root_dir,'[email protected]'), temporary=True)

I have an xpi at this directory and it is loading it fine.

My only concern is if the browser restarts will it load the extension?

I think it won't persist.
You can try by writing a command with assert false in the execute function, that should force a restart and you should be able to verify

I set reset to true in the execute_command_sequence function and it seems to still load the extension. Not sure where it would not persist otherwise
