How to click on "Launch Application" dialog in Firefox with Selenium?

Question

I have a Selenium test, in which I need to click on a "cliclient://" link, and that link needs to open an application. Now, I need to create a new profile for each test, and I don't know how to bypass the "Launch Application" dialog that appears when clicking on the link:

Here's a snippet of the test that I've created:

    profile = Selenium::WebDriver::Firefox::Profile.new

    profile.secure_ssl = false
    profile.assume_untrusted_certificate_issuer=true

    profile["plugin.default.state"] = 2
    profile["plugin.state.java"] = 2

    profile["browser.download.folderList"] = 2
    profile["browser.download.manager.alertOnEXEOpen"] = false
    profile["browser.download.manager.closeWhenDone"] = true
    profile["browser.download.manager.focusWhenStarting"] = false
    profile["browser.download.manager.showWhenStarting"] = false
    profile["browser.helperApps.alwaysAsk.force"] = false
    profile["browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk"] = 'application/x-msdownload,application/octet-stream, application/x-msdownload, application/exe, application/x-exe, application/dos-exe, vms/exe, application/x-winexe, application/msdos-windows, application/x-msdos-program'

    profile["gfx.direct2d.disabled"] = true
    profile["layers.acceleration.disabled"] = true

What is it in the profile that I need to set, to bypass the dialog, or to somehow click on OK when this dialog appears?

You can also try using SikuliX http://sikulix.com/ which is an automation software which uses images to recognise the GUI elements on which certain actions need to be performed

Hovever to use it with ruby you will most probably need to compile and run a java class via a system command and also you will need JDK installed on the machine where the automation will be performed
