When you set a proxy for any given driver, it is set only at the time WebDriver session is created; it cannot be changed at runtime. Even if you get the capabilities of the created session, you won’t be able to change it. So the answer is, no, you must start a new session if … Read more
The main advantage for using the Mozilla-provided, Marionette-based Geckodriver solution is that it works for versions of Firefox 48 and higher. The legacy driver provided and maintained by the Selenium project doesn’t work for Firefox 48 or higher, and will never work for those versions of Firefox. The legacy driver is implemented as a Firefox … Read more
I had the similar problem running Selenium Webdriver 2.53.0 with Firefox 47.0. Selenium Webdriver 2.53.0 works with Firefox 46.0. You can find the the mentioned version at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-older-version-of-firefox.
To turn off this annoying start page: in C# with Selenium 2.48 I found the following solution: FirefoxProfile prof = new FirefoxProfile(); prof.SetPreference(“browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone”, “ignore”); prof.SetPreference(“startup.homepage_welcome_url.additional”, “about:blank”); Driver = new FirefoxDriver(prof); …and it will never bother you again. Note: One of these settings alone will also work. I use them together to make it bullet-proof.
You can disable the browser notifications, using chrome options. Sample code below: chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions() prefs = {“profile.default_content_setting_values.notifications” : 2} chrome_options.add_experimental_option(“prefs”,prefs) driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=chrome_options)

Well, This the serious problem I’ve been going through for some days. But I have found the solution. You can add some flags to optimize your memory usage. options = Options() options.add_argument(“start-maximized”) options.add_argument(“disable-infobars”) options.add_argument(“–disable-extensions”) options.add_argument(‘–no-sandbox’) options.add_argument(‘–disable-application-cache’) options.add_argument(‘–disable-gpu’) options.add_argument(“–disable-dev-shm-usage”) These are the flags I added. Before I added the flags RAM usage kept increasing after it … Read more

I have been struggling with this issue off and on for a long time; your comment on your question solved the problem for me: After both UnexpectedAlertPresentException and NoAlertPresentException are thrown… browser.execute_script(‘alert(“Clearing out past dialogs.”)’) browser.switch_to.alert.accept() As you said in your answer, webdriver is creating a ‘dialog’ when the alert is present. Closing the alert … Read more
Another element is covering the element you are trying to click. You could use execute_script() to click on this. element = driver.find_element_by_class_name(‘pagination-r’) driver.execute_script(“arguments[0].click();”, element)
