How to install socks5 proxy with authorization in Firefox in selenium?

Question

Python

When I use proxy without username and password everything works fine

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.proxy import *

profile = webdriver.FirefoxProfile() 

profile.set_preference("network.proxy.type", 1)
profile.set_preference("network.proxy.socks", "ip")
profile.set_preference("network.proxy.socks_port", port)
profile.set_preference("network.proxy.socks_version", 5)
profile.update_preferences()

driver = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_profile=profile)

driver.get("http://api64.ipify.org")
print(driver.page_source)

driver.close()
driver.quit()

However, when I try to login with username and password

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.proxy import *

profile = webdriver.FirefoxProfile() 

profile.set_preference("network.proxy.type", 1)
profile.set_preference("network.proxy.socks", "ip")
profile.set_preference("network.proxy.socks_port", port)
profile.set_preference("network.proxy.socksUsername", "username")
profile.set_preference("network.proxy.socksPassword", "password")
profile.set_preference("network.proxy.socks_version", 5)
profile.update_preferences()

driver = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_profile=profile)

driver.get("http://api64.ipify.org")
print(driver.page_source)

driver.close()
driver.quit()

An error occurs

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "step_one.py", line 22, in <module>
    driver.get("http://api64.ipify.org")
  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/remote/webdriver.py", line 333, in get
    self.execute(Command.GET, {'url': url})

I also changed network.proxy.socksUsername to network.proxy.socks_username, - password is the same. But the error is the same

Who knows how to solve? Or is there another way to login?

Answer 2

Firefox should not care where the socks proxy server will authorize users.
Try FoxyProxy extension to connect to socks5 proxy with login and password.
