    Hi,

     

    No, this is not possible in official way.

    The recommended approach is to keep your test environment in the controllable state, which means disabling automatic browsers update and move to manual update to the required version when needed.

    Previous versions of Firefox can be obtained from here: https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/

Hi Marsha_R,

 

Thanks for your question. Yes, I do get an error message, and the error message says "Please check for a Firefox support patch on the support.smartbear.com web site, or use a supported Firefox version."


I have just received a reply from the SmartBear support team saying that "I have contacted the development team and they are aware of the issue. Currently Firefox 50.0.1 is not supported however a patch will be released later this week.". Hope this can be resolved soon. 

 

Many thanks,

Lin

Now Firefox's latest version is v50.0.2. I have got the same error message as it is for v50.0.1. Is there a way to let TestComplete ignore browser's minor version number .0.1/2 and only check v50? I'm really getting annoyed now.

      Hi Alex,

       

      Thanks for the confirmation. I have asked our server team to disable auto update for Firefox on that testing machine. 

       

      Have just got the latest TestComplete patch, and it is working now.

       

      Many thanks,

      Lin
