How To Disable Autocomplete In Firefox Using Selenium With Python?

I am building an automated test task with Selenium. When I put the first field on a form, the rest of it is autocompleted based on previous attempts. I can clear the fields to hand

Solution 1:

The best option is to create a profile for Firefox which you use with the selenium webdriver:

Start Firefox with the '-p' option to start the profile manager and create a new custom profile.

In the options you can disable the autocomplete:

Go to 'options' > 'privacy' > 'use custom settings for history' and disable 'remember search and form history.

Use the following to use the custom Firefox profile with selenium:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.webdriverimportFirefoxProfile
profile = FirefoxProfile(path_to_my_profile)
driver = webdriver.Firefox(profile)

Or you can create a temporary custom profile with selenium itself (omit 'path_to_my_profile') and add the following preference:

profile.set_preference('browser.formfill.enable', False)

Solution 2:

You need to set browser.formfill.enable firefox profile preference to false to ask Firefox not to remember and autofill form input values:

profile.set_preference("browser.formfill.enable", "false")
