How to make firefox headless programmatically in Selenium with python?

Selenium Automation Testing Testing Tools

We can make firefox headless programmatically in Selenium. This can be done with the help of the FirefoxOptions class. We shall then create an object option for that class.

We shall set the parameter options.headless to True value. This information of the browser has to be passed to the driver object. We have to add the import statement: from selenium.webdriver.firefox.options import Options as FirefoxOptions for FirefoxOptions class.

Syntax

options = webdriver.FirefoxOptions()
options.headless = True

Example

Code Implementation.

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.options import Options as FirefoxOptions
#object of FirefoxOptions
options = webdriver.FirefoxOptions()
#set options.headless to True
options.headless = True
driver = webdriver.
Firefox(executable_path="C:\\geckodriver.exe", options=options)
driver.implicitly_wait(0.4)
driver.get("https://www.tutorialspoint.com/index.htm")
#identify element
m = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[text()='Library']")
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();",m)
print("Page title after click: " + driver.title)
driver.quit()
