Sorry, I don't know the issues of modern firefox and how it handles SSL. Maybe there are similar issues with other testing tools? If so I could help to port their solution to your case

[zeeshanyshaikh]

I got this (https://sqa.stackexchange.com/questions/13526/select-ssl-certificates-using-selenium-web-driver) and some other post similar to this (using firefox profile). But all these are in JAVA. Can you check if this can be ported?

[DavertMik]

Looks like you need to create Firefox profile and add it to capabilities list:

    modules:
       enabled:
          - WebDriver:
             url: 'http://localhost/'
             browser: firefox
             window_size: 1024x768
             capabilities:
                 firefox_profile: '~/firefox-profiles/codeception-profile.zip.b64'

[DavertMik]

If that doesn't help, you can set capabilities dynamically: http://codeception.com/docs/modules/WebDriver#_capabilities

You will need to learn how a profile can be added in facebook/php-webdriver library.

Hi, @DavertMik I did try creating firefox profile (zip.b64) and added to capabilities but getting the same issue. I have doubt in two things:

1. The path included in capabilities is the absolute path? I tried giving path as only file name since I stored the file in the same folder where my suite.yml is.
2. If you have proper steps to create firefox profile and convert to base64 please let me know.

[zeeshanyshaikh]

any update on this?

[tasselchof]

Parameter in suit configuration must be capabilities, not desiredCapabilities.
