Since I cannot set a proxy from Geckodriver directly, I will change it manually by using

from selenium import webdriver


myProxy = "xxxxxxxxx:yyyy"
ip, port = myProxy.split(":")


profile = webdriver.FirefoxProfile()
profile.set_preference('network.proxy_type',5)
profile.set_preference('network.proxy.http','xxxxxxxxx')
profile.set_preference('network.proxy.http_port',yyyy)
profile.update_preferences()

driver=webdriver.Firefox(firefox_profile=profile)
driver.get('http://www.google.co.th')
time.sleep(3)
driver.close()

I am trying to execute, the firefox has changes into proxy mode

However, when I execute script via Robot Framework, which it also execute via Geckodriver, it doesn't change into proxy.

I need to know the way to permanently change proxy in Geckodriver

With SeleniumLibrary's Open Browser keyword you could set any preferences like you would do in your Python script.

For example the following test would open a browser every time with these options:

  1. Proxy HTTP port set to 777.
  2. Proxy type set to "5".
  3. Proxy HTTP "xxxxxxxxx".

    Sleep    1 min    reason=Verify proxy settings manually in the opened browser.

Values checked on the Firefox's about:config page during sleep:
