Need help with opening multiple tabs within the same browser window in Selenium. Struggling to achieve this when using a Firefox profile, as the tabs open separately without it. Despite extensive research, unable to find a solution that opens multiple tabs in the same Firefox window using a Firefox Profile.
System Information:
Operating System: Windows7
Programming Language: Python 3.7
Browser: Firefox 84
Selenium Version: 3.141
A test firefox profile has been created.
Code Attempt with Firefox Profile (tabs open as separate windows):
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.firefox_binary import FirefoxBinary
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.firefox_profile import FirefoxProfile
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.options import Options as FirefoxOptions
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
binary = FirefoxBinary('C:\\Program Files\\Mozilla Firefox\\firefox.exe')
firefox_capabilities = webdriver.DesiredCapabilities.FIREFOX
firefox_capabilities['marionette'] = True
fp = webdriver.FirefoxProfile('C:\\Users\\john\\AppData\\Roaming\\Mozilla\\Firefox\\Profiles\\0kjv3jas.test')
fp.update_preferences()
first_link = "https://google.com"
second_link = "https://reddit.com"
driver = webdriver.Firefox(capabilities=firefox_capabilities, firefox_binary=binary, firefox_profile=fp, executable_path='C:\\WebDriver\\bin\\geckodriver.exe')
driver.get(first_link)
driver.execute_script("window.open('" + second_link +"');")
Working Code without the Firefox profile:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.firefox_binary import FirefoxBinary
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.firefox_profile import FirefoxProfile
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.options import Options as FirefoxOptions
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
binary = FirefoxBinary('C:\\Program Files\\Mozilla Firefox\\firefox.exe')
firefox_capabilities = webdriver.DesiredCapabilities.FIREFOX
firefox_capabilities['marionette'] = True
first_link = "https://google.com"
second_link = "https://reddit.com"
driver = webdriver.Firefox(capabilities=firefox_capabilities, firefox_binary=binary, executable_path='C:\\WebDriver\\bin\\geckodriver.exe')
driver.get(first_link)
driver.execute_script("window.open('" + second_link +"');")
