From selenium 3.0 beta 4, selenium introduced class FirefoxOptions to Manage firefox specific settings in a way gecko driver can understand.
Let’s see how firefox settings we can use in selenium easily
Before to selenium 3.0, used firefox profile as
FirefoxProfile profile= new FirefoxProfile();
profile.setPreference("browser.startup.homepage","http://qavalidation.com");
profile.setAcceptUntrustedCertificates(true);
DesiredCapabilities caps=DesiredCapabilities.firefox();
caps.setCapability(FirefoxDriver.PROFILE, profile);
FirefoxDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(caps);
Now we can write without using the FirefoxProfile as
FirefoxOptions options = new FirefoxOptions();
options.addPreference("browser.startup.homepage","https://qavalidation.com");
options.setAcceptInsecureCerts(true);
DesiredCapabilities caps=DesiredCapabilities.firefox();
//caps.setCapability([capabilityName], [value]);
options.merge(caps);
driver = new FirefoxDriver(options);
profile.setPreference can be written as options.addPreference
if you enter caps. you will get lots of methods for your needs.
FirefoxDriver(Capabilities capabilities) – Deprecated, Instead you can Use FirefoxDriver(FirefoxOptions)

FirefoxOptions
