If Selenium is not loading the specified browser profile, there are several possible reasons and solutions to investigate. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve the issue:

1. Check Profile Path:

   • Verify that the path to the specified browser profile is correct. Provide the absolute path to the profile directory when setting up the browser profile.

2. Ensure Browser Compatibility:

   • Make sure that the version of Selenium WebDriver you are using is compatible with the version of the browser. Compatibility issues can sometimes cause profile-related problems.

3. Use Browser-Specific Options:

   • Different browsers may have specific options for setting up a profile. For example, in Chrome, you can use user-data-dir to specify the user data directory (profile).

from selenium import webdriver

chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
chrome_options.add_argument('--user-data-dir=/path/to/profile')

driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=chrome_options)

• Profile Settings Conflict:

  • Check if there are conflicting settings in the specified profile that might interfere with Selenium. Manually inspect the profile directory to ensure it is in a clean state.

• Clear Browser Cache and Cookies:

  • If you are using an existing profile, clearing the browser cache and cookies might help. Create a clean profile or clear the existing one before running your Selenium script.

• Profile Locking:

  • Ensure that the specified profile is not locked by another instance of the browser. Make sure that no other browser instances are using the same profile concurrently.

• Browser Version Mismatch:

  • If you have recently updated your browser, there might be compatibility issues with the existing profile. Create a new profile or update the existing one to match the browser version.

• Handle Security Restrictions:

  • Some browsers, especially when used in automated testing, may impose security restrictions on loading specific profiles. Review browser settings or consider adjusting security settings to allow profile loading.

• Check for Selenium Updates:

  • Ensure that you are using the latest version of the Selenium WebDriver library. Updates may include fixes for profile-related issues.

• Logging and Debugging:

  • Enable browser and WebDriver logs to capture any error messages or warnings related to the profile. This can provide insights into what might be going wrong.

• Use Browser-Specific Drivers:

  • If you are using a specific browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox), make sure you are using the appropriate browser-specific WebDriver executable (ChromeDriver, GeckoDriver).

To change the proxy server on your computer, follow these steps based on your operating system:

Windows:

1. Open the Control Panel.
2. Click on "Internet Options."
3. Go to the "Connections" tab and click "LAN settings."
4. Check the "Use a proxy server for your LAN" option.
5. Enter the new proxy server address, port, and authentication details if required.
6. Click "OK" to save the changes and close all open windows.

macOS:

1. Open System Preferences.
2. Click on "Network."
3. Select your active network connection (e.g., Wi-Fi or Ethernet).
4. Click the "Advanced" button.
5. Go to the "Proxies" tab.
6. Select the appropriate proxy setting (HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS) from the dropdown menu.
7. Enter the new proxy server address, port, and authentication details if required.
8. Click "OK" and then "Apply" to save the changes.

On smartphones, when a proxy is turned on, the corresponding indicator (the "VPN" icon) appears in the status bar. In Windows you have to go to "Settings", open "Network and Internet". Under "Proxy Server", if the item "Manual" is activated, it means that the proxy is engaged right now.

It is necessary to go to "Settings", select "WiFi", then specify the network for which you want to disable the proxy. After that, tap on "Proxy settings" and check "Off". This option is valid for iOS version 10 and higher.

It is a proxy that everyone can connect to. That is, it handles absolutely all requests without interacting with the traffic in any way, without monitoring its packets.
