             "register":true
 }

Plugin Setup

You can put your firefox preferences as firefox_preferences property under nemoData environment variable like below,

  "nemoData": {
                "autoBaseDir": "<%=loopmocha.basedir%>", "targetBrowser": nconf.get("TARGET_BROWSER") || "firefox",
                "firefox_preferences":{
                    "browser.download.folderList": 2,
                    "browser.download.dir": "/Users/nilesh",
                    "browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk": "text/csv"
                },
                "serverCaps": {
                }
  }

You can use an existing firefox profile just by passing the path to the folder containing your profile.

  "nemoData": {
                "autoBaseDir": "<%=loopmocha.basedir%>", "targetBrowser": nconf.get("TARGET_BROWSER") || "firefox",
                "firefoxDirectory": "/path/to/profile's folder",
                "firefox_preferences":{
                    "browser.download.folderList": 2,
                    "browser.download.dir": "/Users/nilesh",
                    "browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk": "text/csv"
                },
                "serverCaps": {
                }
  }

Once the plugin is configured correctly, nemo-firefox-profile would update "serverCaps" as below

  "serverCaps": {
    "firefox_profile": {zipped, base64 encoded string of the profile directory for use with remote WebDriver JSON wire protocol}
  }
