Run portable firefox remotely

I need to run portable Firefox using RemoteWebDriver, but facing the problem:

Here is code for a local run which works perfectly:

FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(
                     new FirefoxBinary(
                         new File(System.getProperty("user.dir"),
                         "/tools/FirefoxPortable/FirefoxPortable.exe")),profile);       
driver.get("http://google.com");

How can I run it on local server? With something like:

WebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(DesiredCapabilities.firefox());
driver.get("http://google.com");

If you are using RemoteWebDriver, There are two ways to set firefox binary as below :

  • You need to set FirefoxBinary into DesiredCapabilities as :

    FirefoxBinary bin = new FirefoxBinary(
                 new File(System.getProperty("user.dir"),
                 "/tools/FirefoxPortable/FirefoxPortable.exe"));
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.firefox();
capabilities.setCapability(FirefoxDriver.BINARY, bin);

WebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(capabilities);
driver.get("http://google.com");

  • You need to run selenium-server-standalone-x.jar with -Dwebdriver.firefox.bin property which will point to firefox binary path as :

    java -jar selenium-server-standalone-x.jar -Dwebdriver.firefox.bin="path/to/firefox binary"

    Now you can instantiate RemoteWebDriver with firefox as : 

    WebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(DesiredCapabilities.firefox());
driver.get("http://google.com");
