Remarks

To open a specific version of Mozilla Firefox that is supported by OpenText Functional Testing but not listed in the Possible Values section, do not use this property. Instead, set the test's BROWSER_ENV environment variable to FF<VersionNumber>, for example FF40 (without a period). To do this, use the Environments pane in the Test Settings dialog box. For more details, see the OpenText Functional Testing Help Center.
