Use existing Firefox session in Selenium and Perl - perl

Question

I have existing Firefox session with appropriate login data to interesting site. Now I want to use it with Selenium and Perl.
I am using this code:
my $driver = Selenium::Remote::Driver->new;
$driver->get("http://www.google.com");
$driver->find_element('q','name')->send_keys("Hello WebDriver!");
print $driver->get_title() . "\n";
But this code opens new blank session of Firefox.
How can I use my existing session with already set up cookies?

Answer 1

You want to specify a Firefox profile to use.
In Java, it'd be something like this...
ProfilesIni profile = new ProfilesIni();
FirefoxProfile firefoxProfile = profile.getProfile("Default"); // might need to switch this around depending on what it actually is named.
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(firefoxProfile);
(credit to this answer for the pseudo-code)

Answer 2

I think you can try with this option in perl driver.
my $handles = $driver->get_window_handles;
$driver->switch_to_window($handles->[1]);
$driver->close;
$driver->switch_to_window($handles->[0]);
I didn't use it, but may be it will help you!
