# FirefoxProfile(profileDirectory)

> Initialize a new instance of a Firefox Profile

**Parameters:**

- `{String | null} profileDirectory` optional. if provided, it will copy the directory

<sub>Go: [TOC](#tableofcontents)</sub>

<a name="firefoxprofileprototype"></a>

# FirefoxProfile.prototype.deleteDir()

> Deletes the profile directory.

Call it only if you do not need the profile. Otherwise use at your own risk.
this function is automatically called by default (= if willDeleteOnExit() returns true)

<sub>Go: [TOC](#tableofcontents) | [FirefoxProfile.prototype](#toc_firefoxprofileprototype)</sub>

# FirefoxProfile.prototype.shouldDeleteOnExit(true)

> Specify if the profile Directory should be deleted on process.exit()

Note: by default:
* if the constructor is called without param: the new profile directory is deleted
* if the constructor is called with param (path to profile dir): the dir is copied at init and the copy is deleted on exit

**Parameters:**

- `{boolean} true`

<sub>Go: [TOC](#tableofcontents) | [FirefoxProfile.prototype](#toc_firefoxprofileprototype)</sub>

# FirefoxProfile.prototype.willDeleteOnExit()

> returns true if the profile directory will be deleted on process.exit()

**Return:**

`{boolean}` true if (default)

<sub>Go: [TOC](#tableofcontents) | [FirefoxProfile.prototype](#toc_firefoxprofileprototype)</sub>

# FirefoxProfile.prototype.setPreference(key, value)

> Set a user preference.

Any modification to the user preference can be persisted using this.updatePreferences()
If this.setPreference() is called before calling this.encoded(), then this.updatePreferences() 
is automatically called.
For a comprehensive list of preference keys, see http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config_entries

**Parameters:**

- `{string} key` - the user preference key
- `{boolean | string} value`



**See:**

- [about:config](http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config_entries)

<sub>Go: [TOC](#tableofcontents) | [FirefoxProfile.prototype](#toc_firefoxprofileprototype)</sub>

# FirefoxProfile.prototype.addExtension(path, callback)

> Add an extension to the profile.

**Parameters:**

- `{string} path` - path to a xpi extension file or a unziped extension folder
- `{function} callback` - the callback function to call when the extension is added

<sub>Go: [TOC](#tableofcontents) | [FirefoxProfile.prototype](#toc_firefoxprofileprototype)</sub>

# FirefoxProfile.prototype.addExtensions(path, callback)

> Add mutliple extension to the profile.

**Parameters:**

- `{string} path` - path to a xpi extension file or a unziped extension folder
- `{function} callback` - the callback function to call when the extension is added

<sub>Go: [TOC](#tableofcontents) | [FirefoxProfile.prototype](#toc_firefoxprofileprototype)</sub>

# FirefoxProfile.prototype.updatePreferences()

> Save user preferences to the user.js profile file.

updatePreferences() is automatically called when encoded() is called 
(if needed = if setPreference() was called before calling encoded())

<sub>Go: [TOC](#tableofcontents) | [FirefoxProfile.prototype](#toc_firefoxprofileprototype)</sub>

# FirefoxProfile.prototype.path()

> @return {string} path of the profile extension directory

<sub>Go: [TOC](#tableofcontents) | [FirefoxProfile.prototype](#toc_firefoxprofileprototype)</sub>

# FirefoxProfile.prototype.canAcceptUntrustedCerts()

> @return {boolean} true if webdriver can accept untrusted certificates

<sub>Go: [TOC](#tableofcontents) | [FirefoxProfile.prototype](#toc_firefoxprofileprototype)</sub>

# FirefoxProfile.prototype.setAcceptUntrustedCerts(true)

> If not explicitly set, default: true

**Parameters:**

- `{boolean} true` to accept untrusted certificates, false otherwise.

<sub>Go: [TOC](#tableofcontents) | [FirefoxProfile.prototype](#toc_firefoxprofileprototype)</sub>

# FirefoxProfile.prototype.canAssumeUntrustedCertIssuer()

> @return {boolean} true if webdriver can assume untrusted certificate issuer

<sub>Go: [TOC](#tableofcontents) | [FirefoxProfile.prototype](#toc_firefoxprofileprototype)</sub>

# FirefoxProfile.prototype.setAssumeUntrustedCertIssuer(true)

> If not explicitly set, default: true

**Parameters:**

- `{boolean} true` to make webdriver assume untrusted issuer.

<sub>Go: [TOC](#tableofcontents) | [FirefoxProfile.prototype](#toc_firefoxprofileprototype)</sub>

# FirefoxProfile.prototype.nativeEventsEnabled()

> @return {boolean} true if native events are enabled

<sub>Go: [TOC](#tableofcontents) | [FirefoxProfile.prototype](#toc_firefoxprofileprototype)</sub>

# FirefoxProfile.prototype.setNativeEventsEnabled(boolean)

> If not explicitly set, default: true

**Parameters:**

- `{boolean} boolean` true to enable native events.

<sub>Go: [TOC](#tableofcontents) | [FirefoxProfile.prototype](#toc_firefoxprofileprototype)</sub>

# FirefoxProfile.prototype.encoded(function)

> return zipped, base64 encoded string of the profile directory
for use with remote WebDriver JSON wire protocol

**Parameters:**

- `{Function} function` a callback function with first params as a zipped, base64 encoded string of the profile directory

<sub>Go: [TOC](#tableofcontents) | [FirefoxProfile.prototype](#toc_firefoxprofileprototype)</sub>

# FirefoxProfile.prototype.setProxy(object)

> set network proxy settings.
if proxy type is 'manual', then possible settings are: 'ftp', 'http', 'ssl', 'socks'
if proxy type is 'pac', the setting should be 'autoconfig_url'
for other values, only the proxy.type pref will be set
