You may like to create your own firefox profile because SELENIUM always created a clean firefox profile while executing the tests and none of your FF settings and plug-in are considered with this clean profile. If you WANT to execute tests on FF with your settings then you should create custom profile for FF.

To be able to execute tests on a custom firefox profile you should specify its PATH while starting Selenium server. For example if your new profile is stored at “awesome location” in your directory then you should start Selenium server as following–

JAVA –jar .jar -firefoxProfileTemplate "awesome location"
