Yeah, the currently supported approach now is to add the extension from the install_addon() method on the firefox driver *after the session has been created. I filed an issue on geckodriver to allow it to be done during capability creation, but it is low priority:
mozilla/geckodriver#1476

[MaheshkumarPalled]

Thank you. Will try this.
@titusfortner : Any sample to refer initiating WebDriver and extension using python script from Java class and reusing the webDriver in java class to run the test? I have my framework set-up in Java. So I was wondering as this is an issue since 2019. If there was a sample to refer. I tried to following.

1. Created a .py file with the following code.

from selenium import webdriver

def installExtension(driverPath, extensionPath):
    driver = webdriver.Firefox(executable_path=driverPath)
    driver.install_addon(extensionPath,temporary=True)
    return driver

2. Failed to retrieve the driver and use it in Java class.

Also tried to use Jython as it's not supporting Python 3.x version. Kind of stuck

[titusfortner]

No, Selenium isn't designed to pass driver instances between different languages.
Not sure why I gave the Python example here, sorry. Check out this example in Java:
https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/blob/trunk/java/test/org/openqa/selenium/firefox/FirefoxDriverTest.java#L531-L534

[MaheshkumarPalled]

Thank you @titusfortner for the quick response. Above sample is really helpful and resolved my concern.

Thanks again..!

[MaheshkumarPalled]

@titusfortner : Are you able to run FireFox extension tests on headless mode?

I end up seeing socket connection error. I was wondering if you achieved it. I looked at the test shared above, but I couldn't find headless test run after extension installation.
