How to save installed firefox addon via selenium?

Question

Python

Hello everyone, there is a part of such code

count = 1
profile = "/home/user/.mozilla/firefox/profile" + str(count)
fp = webdriver.FirefoxProfile(profile)
directory = '/home/user/ffadns/'
files = os.listdir(directory)
def randaddon():
  addon = directory + random.choice(files)
        return addon
fp.add_extension(randaddon())
fp.add_extension(randaddon())
fp.add_extension(randaddon())
driver = webdriver.Firefox(fp)

Everything works fine, addons are installed. But after closing the browser, they are no longer there, that is, they are saved until the script is executed. How can I make these addons saved in profiles? Thank you.

When installing the addon (the addon works without restarting), changes occur in the files that are on the
PS screen. As a result, it turns out that selenium creates a copy of the profile folder in the temporary directory and works with it. After closing via driver.quit(), this folder is deleted, respectively, everything that is installed and recorded (addons, settings, etc.) disappear with this folder. As a solution, I have made this code for myself (for the pros, of course, the code will seem like a ridiculous perversion, but what can you do, everyone once started =) )

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.ui import Select

import datetime
import time
import random

from datetime import datetime
from random import randint
from random import choice
from string import ascii_lowercase

import shutil

from shutil import copytree, ignore_patterns



def regger():
    count = 1
    login = '[email protected]'
    shutil.copytree('/home/user/.mozilla/firefox/source/', "/home/user/.mozilla/firefox/"+ str("source") + str(count))
    profile = "/home/user/.mozilla/firefox/source" + str(count)

    fp = webdriver.FirefoxProfile(profile)

#   Addons
    directory = '/home/user/ffadns/'
    files = os.listdir(directory)
    addon = directory + str(random.choice(files)); addon2 = directory + str(random.choice(files)); addon3 = directory + str(random.choice(files))
    fp.add_extension(addon); fp.add_extension(addon2); fp.add_extension(addon3)
    addon_name = addon.split('/'[-1]) ; addon2_name = addon2.split('/'[-1]); addon3_name = addon3.split('/'[-1])

    driver = webdriver.Firefox(fp)
    dd = fp.profile_dir.split('/')
    tempProfile_name = dd[-2]
    shutil.move('/tmp/' + str(tempProfile_name) + '/webdriver-py-profilecopy/', '/tmp/' + str(login))
    shutil.copytree('/tmp/' + login, '/home/user/.mozilla/firefox/' + login, ignore=ignore_patterns('lock'))
    shutil.rmtree('/home/user/.mozilla/firefox/source1')
    driver.quit()
