How to stop Selenium from creating temporary Firefox Profiles using Web Driver?

Viewed 56361

I am using Selenium Web Driver API with Java. Every time I want to debug my test cases, a temporary profile for Firefox is created in the temporary files directory. This is a headache in two ways.

  1. It definitely is taking unnecessary time to create a profile and is taking unnecessary space.
  2. I cannot install any addons that will be available next time I launch my test cases.

How do I get around this?
