selenium web driver does not open firefox with custom prefrences

Trying to open firefox with already installed addons using selenium 2 but always opens with default firefox profile having predefined preferences

from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Firefox()

The above lines of code initiates firefox with default profile. How to make it initiate with user specified preferences?

There is no need to set profile, it could be created automatically, you just need path to addons, e.g.:

        string firebugPath = "C:\\Users\\Administrator\\AppData\\Roaming\\Mozilla\\Firefox\\Profiles\\x7nutq33.default\\extensions\\[email protected]";
        FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();       
        profile.AddExtension(firebugPath);
        Driver = new FirefoxDriver(profile);

You can launch it with a custom profile using something like:

profile = FirefoxProfile("path.to.profile")
driver = webdriver.Firefox(profile)
