Adding proxy to Firefox driver - Selenium - Python

Question

I am trying to add proxies in Firefox driver (which do have authentication). Though I set the proxy by the below code, it is not clear to add authentication for the proxies.

 myProxy = "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:80"

proxy = Proxy({
    'proxyType': ProxyType.MANUAL,
    'httpProxy': myProxy, 
    'ftpProxy': myProxy,  
    'sslProxy': myProxy,  
    'noProxy': ''
})

driver = webdriver.Firefox(proxy=proxy)

I have gone through this answer for authentication but it is also not working.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

I did not get any error. While testing my proxy with whatismyip.com, I found that the proxy wasn't working as my system IP was shown there. — SanthoshSolomon

Here is what I was (finally) able to get to work. I wasn't able to change the port - I didn't see anything to do that in the proxy.py file either, but I will admit I didn't look too hard since my proxies are on port 80 anyway.

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.common.proxy import Proxy

proxy_use= "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"
desired_capability = webdriver.DesiredCapabilities.FIREFOX
desired_capability['proxy'] = {
    'proxyType': "manual",
    'httpProxy': proxy_use,
    'ftpProxy': proxy_use,
    'sslProxy': proxy_use,
        }
queryURL = "https://insert.yourwebsitetocheckip.here"
browser = webdriver.Firefox(capabilities=desired_capability)
browser.get(queryURL)

I have my function doing a lot more than this, so I just pulled out the relevant part. Looking at this quickly you might not have to import Options - try it without and see if it works.
