How to install the firefox add-on manually, by command line?

[alex4200]

I am performing selenium tests and use a firefox instance that is part of a docker image. Therefore I cannot just 'open firefox' and 'click here' and 'click there'. I require a programatical way to install the extension.

For example, can I just copy files in some directories in the firefox' profile folder or something?

I cannot use the suggested web-ext tool, as the firefox instance is started by selenium itself.

Thanks a lot

Hi @alex4200 if you use Selenium, it has support for adding e extension. What flavour of Selenium are you using? In NodeJS you do it like this: https://github.com/sitespeedio/browsertime/blob/master/lib/firefox/webdriver/index.js#L58-L61

Hi @soulgalore; I am using python-selenium. But at the moment I do not require this feature anymore.
