Selenium Automation in Firefox (Python) Blocked by Captchas & "Browser is Being Automated" Error

more options

Good day,

I'm using Selenium with Firefox in Python to automate browser testing, but I keep encountering captchas that prevent my script from proceeding. Additionally, I receive an error stating that "the browser is being automated" (Reason: Marionette).

My intended automation flow:

  1. Open Firefox
  2. Go to www.google.com
  3. Search for "YouTube"
  4. Click on the YouTube link
  5. Search for a video
  6. Play the video

However, captchas appear during the process, and I suspect it's because Firefox detects that it's automated. Is there a way to disable automation detection in Firefox or configure Marionette to reduce captchas when using Selenium in Python?

Any guidance or workarounds would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Captcha isn't from Firefox browser.
