I use Selenium Marrionette and GeckoDriver to pull web data. I use the following to set my Firefox profile preferences:
fp = webdriver.FirefoxProfile()
fp.set_preference("browser.download.folderList", 1)
fp.set_preference("browser.helperApps.alwaysAsk.force", False)
fp.set_preference("browser.download.manager.showWhenStarting",False)
fp.set_preference("browser.download.dir", "H:\Downloads")
fp.set_preference("browser.download.downloadDir","H:\Downloads")
fp.set_preference("browser.download.defaultFolder","H:\Downloads")
binary = FirefoxBinary(r'C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\Firefox.exe')
firefox_capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.FIREFOX
firefox_capabilities['marionette'] = True
driver = webdriver.Firefox(capabilities=firefox_capabilities, firefox_binary=binary, firefox_profile = fp)
From what I understand after reading Unable to set firefox profile preferences and FirefoxProfile passed to FirefoxDriver, it seems that nothing is being done when using firefox_profile now. So I need to implement the new updates to firefox_capabilities, but I'm not sure how to exactly do that. Any ideas?

In the Menu bar at the top of the screen, click Firefox and select Preferences. Click the menu button. and select Settings.
FirefoxOptions options = new FirefoxOptions(); driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("http://10.x.x.x:4444/wd/hub"), options); When you start your Selenium Nodes, it displays a log information on using new FirefoxOptions preferred to 'DesiredCapabilities. firefox() along with all other browser options.
Generally to run tests on our local machine, we will just specify as WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(); to run on Firefox browser. System. setProperty("webdriver.
To make Firefox work with Python selenium, you need to install the geckodriver. The geckodriver driver will start the real firefox browser and supports Javascript. Take a look at the selenium firefox code. First import the webdriver, then make it start firefox.
Ok, I believe I finally figured this mess out. Instead of using the code above, I used the following code which I point to my Firefox profile folder(if you need to update your default profile settings do that in Firefox before running this code):
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.options import Options
binary = FirefoxBinary(r'C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\Firefox.exe')
fp = (r'C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\oqmqnsih.default')
opts = Options()
opts.profile = fp
firefox_capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.FIREFOX
firefox_capabilities['marionette'] = True
driver = webdriver.Firefox(capabilities=firefox_capabilities,firefox_binary=binary, firefox_options = opts)
I ran this code along with my web-scraping code and once I clicked the "Export CSV" link, it automatically downloaded as opposed to the Download Manager window popping up. Feel free to add any feedback.

The initial code is partialy correct. You must set browser.download.folderList value as 2 :
fp = webdriver.FirefoxProfile()
fp.set_preference("browser.download.folderList", 2) # 0 means to download to the desktop, 1 means to download to the default "Downloads" directory, 2 means to use the directory
fp.set_preference("browser.helperApps.alwaysAsk.force", False)
fp.set_preference("browser.download.manager.showWhenStarting",False)
fp.set_preference("browser.download.dir", "H:\Downloads")
binary = FirefoxBinary(r'C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\Firefox.exe')
firefox_capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.FIREFOX
firefox_capabilities['marionette'] = True
driver = webdriver.Firefox(capabilities=firefox_capabilities,firefox_binary=binary, firefox_profile = fp)
