BELLATRIX hides the complexity of initialisation of WebDriver and all related services. In some cases, you need to customise the set up of a browser with using WebDriver options, adding driver capabilities or using browser profile. Using the App service methods you can add all of these with ease. Make sure to call them in a step definition method. Later you can call this step in your feature files. These options are used only for the tests in this particular class.

Note: You can use all of these methods no matter which run option you use- Browser, Remote, SauceLabs, BrowserStack or CrossBrowserTesting.

App.AddWebDriverOptions("disable-popup-blocking", true);

Add custom WebDriver capability.

var profileManager = new FirefoxProfileManager();
FirefoxProfile profile = profileManager.GetProfile("BELLATRIX");

App.AddWebDriverBrowserProfile(profile);

Add an existing Firefox profile. You may want to test your application in together with some specific browser extension.
