Firefox versions and UFT One extension support

The Micro Focus UFT Agent Extension for Firefox is supported from Firefox versions 57 and higher.

Testing on earlier versions of Firefox requires installing the legacy Functional Testing Agent extension. Mozilla no longer supports legacy extensions. Therefore, UFT One's legacy agent is supported only on Firefox ESR versions 38-53.
