How to use Selenium and Firefox version 40, how to download a file?

Question

Old file upload methods through Selenium no longer work.

My code is:

    fp = webdriver.FirefoxProfile()
    fp.set_preference("browser.download.dir", os.getcwd())
    fp.set_preference("browser.download.folderList", 2)
    fp.set_preference("browser.download.manager.showWhenStarting", False)
    fp.set_preference("browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk",
                      "application/pdf")

    self.driver = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_profile=fp)
    self.longMessage = True

However, the file dialog is still displayed. I turned many fields on and off, but after a little digging, I found that there was no difference between the prefs.jsdefault Firefox profile file generated by Selenium and the file prefs.jswhere I manually checked "Do this automatically for files of this type from now on" in the download dialog .

The file is mimeTypes.rdfmodified, although, in particular, the following lines are added:

<RDF:Description RDF:about="urn:mimetype:handler:application/pdf"
               NC:alwaysAsk="false"
               NC:saveToDisk="true"
               NC:handleInternal="false">
<NC:externalApplication RDF:resource="urn:mimetype:externalApplication:application/pdf"/>

I do not know how to configure my own mimeTypes.rdf file when creating a new Firefox profile. Somebody knows?

            get
            {
                string webPath = Element.GetAttribute("src");

                if (webPath != string.Empty)
                {

                        System.Net.WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();

                        System.IO.Stream responseStream = response.GetResponseStream();

                        Bitmap bitmapImg = new Bitmap(responseStream);
