[FIXED] Selenium: how to change log level messages displayed in console?

Issue

When I run my Java Selenium test, the Eclipse console displays a lot of messages like:

1484171436147   addons.manager  DEBUG   Loaded provider scope for resource://gre/modules/addons/XPIProvider.jsm: ["XPIProvider"]
1484171436149   addons.manager  DEBUG   Loaded provider scope for resource://gre/modules/LightweightThemeManager.jsm: ["LightweightThemeManager"]
1484171436152   addons.manager  DEBUG   Loaded provider scope for resource://gre/modules/addons/GMPProvider.jsm
1484171436154   addons.manager  DEBUG   Loaded provider scope for resource://gre/modules/addons/PluginProvider.jsm
1484171436154   addons.manager  DEBUG   Starting provider: XPIProvider
1484171436155   addons.xpi  DEBUG   startup

1484171436156   addons.xpi  INFO    Mapping [email protected] to C:\Program Files (x86)\Firefox Developer Edition\browser\features\[email protected]
1484171436156   addons.xpi  INFO    Mapping [email protected] to C:\Program Files (x86)\Firefox Developer Edition\browser\features\[email protected]
1484171436157   addons.xpi  INFO    Mapping [email protected] to C:\Program Files (x86)\Firefox Developer Edition\browser\features\[email protected]

I'd like to have a cleaner log. I've tried a lot of things from other questions, but nothing works. The garbage is still there.

Here is what I have now in the @BeforeClass method in my test suit:

LoggingPreferences loggingPrefs = new LoggingPreferences();
loggingPrefs.enable(LogType.BROWSER, Level.WARNING);
loggingPrefs.enable(LogType.CLIENT, Level.WARNING);
loggingPrefs.enable(LogType.DRIVER, Level.WARNING);
loggingPrefs.enable(LogType.PERFORMANCE, Level.WARNING);
loggingPrefs.enable(LogType.PROFILER, Level.WARNING);
loggingPrefs.enable(LogType.SERVER, Level.WARNING);
desiredCapabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.LOGGING_PREFS, loggingPrefs);

driver = new FirefoxDriver(desiredCapabilities);

How do I clean my log?

Solution

I've found an answer at the Selenium user forums:

    if (driver instanceof RemoteWebDriver) {
          ((RemoteWebDriver) driver).setLogLevel(Level.WARNING);
    }   

Using this commands just after creating the driver object solved my problem.
