Is there a way to do basic proxy auth with user/pwd?

Here's my code that works in July 2020:

  # entrypoint
  def start_capybara_with_proxy(url)
    proxy_address = format(
      '%s:%s',
      BLAZING_SEO_PROXY_HOST,
      BLAZING_SEO_PROXY_PORTS.sample
    )
    proxy = Selenium::WebDriver::Proxy.new(
      http: proxy_address,
      ssl: proxy_address
    )
    start_capybara(url, proxy)
  end

  def start_capybara(url, proxy = nil)
    configure_driver(proxy)
    @driver = Capybara::Session.new(:selenium_headless)
    @driver.visit(url)
  end

  def configure_driver(proxy)
    Selenium::WebDriver::Firefox::Binary.path = '/app/vendor/firefox/firefox' if Rails.env.production?

    Capybara.register_driver :selenium_headless do |app|
      browser_options = Selenium::WebDriver::Firefox::Options.new
      browser_options.args << '--headless' unless ENV['HEADLESS'] == 'false'
      desired_caps = Selenium::WebDriver::Remote::Capabilities.firefox(
        proxy: proxy
      )
      Capybara::Selenium::Driver.new(
        app,
        browser: :firefox,
        desired_capabilities: desired_caps,
        options: browser_options
      )
    end
  end

Unfortunately, I realize I need to get proxy working with username and password (like @tchret), which has been a headache.

Does anyone know how to do this on either Chrome/Chromedriver or on Firefox/geckodriver? On Firefox, I believe it involves downloading an extension, and setting username/password through that. I was unable to fill out the popup username/password prompt through Capybara
