Firefox pop up obscures the screen paritally in selenium test

Question

I ran my test in BrowserStack and here is an example outcome

enter image description here

How can I turn off this behaviour of Firefox in a selenium test via DesiredCapabilities?

I want to be able to drive this behaviour with settings instead of adding code for a specific browser.

Exactly! that's what I meant. And, I am wondering why would that happen. I run selenium tests everyday and never came across this situation — Saifur, Mar 23 '15 at 00:50
I run it on a service called 'Browserstack' and I think it always starts a clean environment. If I run the test locally I don't see it too. — Anthony Kong, Mar 23 '15 at 00:52
I am not entirely sure how `Browserstack` works. Do you have the option of unchecking the checkboxes of sharing data mentioned in my answer? — Saifur, Mar 23 '15 at 00:55
BTW, I believe you also should update the question saying it's specific to Browserstack as well — Saifur, Mar 23 '15 at 00:56

This prompt is related to firefox health report, you can disable it in as: (in java)

FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();
profile.setPreference("datareporting.healthreport.uploadEnabled", false);
profile.setPreference("datareporting.healthreport.service.enabled",
                false);
profile.setPreference("datareporting.healthreport.service.firstRun",
                false);
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(profile);

@Saifur it was just one of the issues i got in my past projects so some google at that time made me to have this noted in my quick notes. There are lot of things like telemetry and location that firefox provides you can have a look at them too. For telemetry use `about:telemetry` in url, and for other about config entries [this](http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_:_FAQs_:_About:config_Entries) could be useful.. – Vivek Singh Mar 24 '15 at 05:57
