'Set cookie' keyword does not work in Firefox 26.0. #273
Description
Software:
Ubuntu 13.10
Firefox 26.0
robotframework 2.8.4
robotframework-selenium2library 1.5.0
selenium 2.39.0
Steps to reproduce:
-
Write robot framework keyword that sets a cookie "Add Cookie autologin admin"
-
Reading the cookie with "Get Cookie Value" works fine.
-
Pause the execution after the keyword and go to the firefox js console to read the cookie "document.cookies"
-
"document.cookies" will be empty
See https://github.com/tisto/robotframework-djangolibrary/blob/master/DjangoLibrary/tests/autologin.robot#L34 for the full test that I used.
I tried the same setup with Chrome (32) and everything works as expected, therefore this might be a selenium/webdriver bug. Please let me know if I should file a bug report there.

The problem is that when running in private mode, the cookie manager Selenium uses is disconnected from the browser - this is an upstream issue. This is affecting GCLI/Developer Toolbar (Shift+F2) as well. The solution is to use a non-default FIrefox profile that does not have in private browsing enabld until #177 is fixed. Closing as this is essentially the same issue. See more in #177
