Currently my py.test + splinter + pytest-splinter tests load a Firefox welcome screen when browser instance is created:
How one can get rid of this and have about:blank as a starting page as this screen is wasting some time and bandwidth on each test run?
Set startup.homepage_welcome_url.additional property to '':
In [1]: from selenium import webdriver
In [2]: profile = webdriver.FirefoxProfile()
In [3]: profile.set_preference('startup.homepage_welcome_url.additional', '')
In [4]: browser = webdriver.Firefox(profile)
