So here’s the issue: whenever I run a Python script and it opens Firefox, it gets detected as automation. I don’t want that, because websites can easily identify the automation process. How do I solve this?

That icon in Firefox shows up because the browser is running in automation/debug mode (e.g. Selenium WebDriver). It’s not a bug, it’s by design for transparency reasons. If your goal is just to test scripts, then you don’t need to fix' it. If you don’t want it to appear, the only clean solution is to use a regular profile or the developer tools API instead of automation flags. Basically, there’s no way to make it disappear without going into a grey area.

Got it, makes sense why Firefox shows that automation/debug icon. The issue is that some sites instantly block or throw errors once they detect Selenium/WebDriver. Is there any clean workaround, like using a different driver setup or undetected chromedriver equivalent for Firefox?
