Prevent firefox launching the "learnmore" page about pytest-selenium HOT 7 CLOSED

I guess this is your issue:

please check this commit: SeleniumHQ/selenium@cc0647a

from pytest-selenium.

Thanks for the quick response @rarelam, any tips on how I configure this in my test suite?

I don't think we can do anything for now, unless selenium has released new version. :(

I may be wrong, but I believe all that Selenium commit does is create a default value for that pref in the Firefox profile, so you should be able to do that yourself by setting that pref into the profile programatically before launching Firefox.

A new release of Selenium is needed to pick up the new default preference values, however you can use --firefox-preference startup.homepage_welcome_url.additional about:blank on the command line to set the preference yourself.

put this in your code if you work in java also it is similar and in other languages

FirefoxProfile profile=new FirefoxProfile();
profile.setPreference("javascript.options.showInConsole", true);
profile.setPreference("network.http.max-connections-per-server", 100);
profile.setPreference("browser.startup.homepage", "about:blank");
profile.setPreference("startup.homepage_welcome_url", "about:blank");
profile.setPreference("startup.homepage_welcome_url.additional", "about:blank");
profile.setPreference("webdriver_accept_untrusted_certs", true);
profile.setPreference("webdriver_assume_untrusted_issuer", true);
WebDriver  driver = new FirefoxDriver(profile);
