Proxy Settings using geckodriver 0.12

I have an issue using setting a proxy for Firefox using the RemoteWebDriver from Selenium.

I read and tried several related issues, which recommended setting the proxy settings as required capabilities inside the desired capabilities, as well as explicitly using the required capabilities of the RemoteWebDriver. Unfortunately none of them worked. Firefox is not using the proxy settings.

Is there a way to set proxy settings using a RemoteWebDriver? I did not read that newer versions of geckodriver fix this, so i did not assume that upgrading would help me.

Best Regards

If you upgrade to Firefox Nightly and the latest geckodriver, you should be able to send the proxy configuration object as part of desiredCapabilities.

I'm still having a problem with setting a proxy in this way.

Geckodriver version: 0.14.0
Firefox version: firefox-54.0a1 from yesterday.

Test case:
https://github.com/tebeka/selenium/blob/topic/add-proxy-test/remote_test.go#L1190

This test case starts a test webserver that returns a page containing "You are viewing a proxied page," instantiates a new session, executes a WebDriver Get URL call to a different host, and then gets the page's source. The source should include
