Can I get the gecko driver to launch in an existing Firefox window?

Question

I'm trying to use Selenium in Python to fill out a form, which is why I need it to run in an existing Firefox window where I'm logged in due to the sensitive login data. But I can't seem to find a way to prevent the driver launching in a new window where I am logged out. Is there a way to do this?

I've tried using options to set preference:

`from selenium.webdriver.firefox.options import Options

options = Options() options.set_preference("browser.tabs.loadInBackground", False) driver = webdriver.Firefox(options=options)`

I also tried using the -no-remote command on Firefox in cmd before running the script, but it didn't work either.

From chrome driver you can achieve this.

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options

options = Options()
options.add_argument("user-data-dir=C:/Users/Designer1/AppData/Local/Google/Chrome/User Data/Profile 1")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options,executable_path="C:\webdrivers\chromedriver.exe")
