If two minor versions of Mozilla Firefox are installed on the same computer, and the earlier version was installed after the later version, UFT One may not recognize which is the latest version.

• We recommend disabling other Mozilla Firefox add-ins when performing tests of your Web application or Web page.

• If you have the Add-ons Manager enabled, in the Web tab of the Run and Record Settings dialog box, if you set Firefox to open to a specific URL, Firefox does not open to the specified URL at the beginning of a recording or run session.

  Workaround: Disable the Add-ons Manager before using Firefox.

If you are working on a computer where the UAC (User Account Control) option is set to ON, UFT One does not support testing on Mozilla Firefox browsers that were installed (or upgraded to a new version) after you installed UFT One.

Workaround: After installing Mozilla Firefox on the environment described above, log in as an administrator and open UFT One.

This enables UFT One to install files that are required for Mozilla Firefox support.

UFT One does not support anonymous content elements in non-XUL frames. (For example, the buttons in the Mozilla Firefox SSL exception page.)

The SAP WDJ Add-in is not supported on Firefox browsers.

If you are testing on a Firefox version 57 and higher, a Firefox limitation prevents you from navigating to privileged URLs.

UFT One will display an error if your test step navigates to a privileged URL in Firefox. You can then stop, skip, or edit and retry your step.

For more details, see the MDN web docs.

If the extension fails to install due to your browser policy, manually add the Micro Focus UFT Agent Firefox Extension to the list of extensions to install.

For details, see https://github.com/mozilla/policy-templates/blob/master/README.md#extensions.

The path to add for this extension is: <UFT One installation folder>\Installations\Firefox\WebExtension.xpi.

Recording on Mozilla Firefox pages is only possible when the page is fully loaded.

• When accessing FTP servers using Mozilla Firefox, UFT One does not record actions on the server authentication dialogs.

• UFT does not record steps performed on browser dialog boxes (such as alert, confirmation, or prompt) if these dialog boxes are opened in a new browser tab.

• When recording on Mozilla Firefox, UFT One does not use the location identifier to learn the object.

• UFT One versions 15.0.1 or earlier: Low-level recording is not supported on Firefox.

• The Active Screen captures still images only when recording in Firefox.

  To use Active Screen right-click options, such as adding steps or checkpoints, record your tests in Internet Explorer instead.

• SAPUIList.SetItemData. To record on an input field in a list, click the field twice during recording before entering text.

• The following methods are not supported for recording on Mozilla Firefox:

  Browser.Home

  Browser.FullScreen

When recording steps in Mozilla Firefox, additional steps may be recorded.

Workaround: Manually remove the extraneous steps after the recording session ends.

When recording on some Mozilla Firefox versions, if you perform a search on google.com by entering the search string and then pressing Enter, the Submit operation is not recorded.

Subsequently, when you run the test, UFT One enters the search string but does not perform the search.

Workaround: Do one of the following:

• When recording the search operation, click the search button instead of pressing Enter.

• Manually add the Submit (or Click) step to the test or component.

The If Handler option in the Web Event Recording Configuration Dialog Box works on Mozilla Firefox browsers only if the handler is assigned as an attribute. For example, <A onclick = "some code"/>.

The If Handler option does not work if the handler is assigned as a property. For example, aObj.onclick = function() {some code}.

When recording on Firefox versions 57 and higher, steps that close the last tab of the browser, or all browser tabs in a window, are not recorded.

If a test or business component contains a step that closes a Mozilla Firefox browser, UFT One may behave unexpectedly when that step is reached during a run session.

Workaround: Do not include a step that closes a Mozilla Firefox browser.

• If you drag and drop a tab to create a new window in Firefox, UFT One stops recognizing, recording, or running any web objects in the new window.
• When recording a test on a Web page coded in languages other than HTML5, drag and drop methods can be recorded in Internet Explorer only.

The Object Spy and Checkpoint Properties dialog boxes do not retrieve the current value of edit boxes in Mozilla Firefox dialog boxes.

The hwnd property is not supported when working in Firefox versions 57 and higher.

When using Mozilla Firefox, the innertext, outertext, innerhtml and outerhtml property values may differ from other browsers.

Therefore, using these values in parameters or running checkpoints that use these property values may cause the steps to fail.

When using the RunScript method on Mozilla Firefox browsers, you should disable the Content Security Policy before running the test:

1. In Firefox, native to about:config.

2. Search for security.csp.enable.

3. Change the value to false.

If you open the Search toolbar or developer toolbar in Mozilla Firefox, when you spy on an object or highlight an object in the object repository, the highlight rectangle is displayed in the wrong location in the browser window.

Workaround: Float the toolbar in the browser window.

The Object Spy and Navigate and Learn dialog boxes do not retrieve the current value of tabmodal dialogs in Mozilla Firefox.

Text area checkpoints are not supported on Mozilla Firefox.

The Type property of the WebButton test object has a different default value in Microsoft Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox.

In Microsoft Internet Explorer the default value is Button, but in Mozilla Firefox the default value is Submit.

Workaround: Do not use the Type property in the description of a WebButton test object.
