Flash/Flex application in Firefox: problem to recognize objects

We have a problem to record test in Mozilla Firefox 11.0: Test Complete doesn’t recognize objects. There are no problems with IE. We did the following configuration:


1) Installed debug version of Flash Player (for Netscape-compatible browsers)


2) Modified mm.cfg file


3) Uninstalled FlashFirebug add-on


4) Added the Flex folder to the list of trusted locations in Flash Player’s setting


5) Changed setting preferences via Firefox’s about:config. Set up false for dom.ipc.plugins.enabled and dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npswf32.dll


We tried to Object Spy your test application located here http://www.automatedqa.com/examples/testcomplete/flex/orders.html but it doesn’t recognize objects. Since it is working in IE I’m assuming that the problem is in Firefox settings.


Does somebody have any suggestions?


  • Hi Olga,



    To make TestComplete 8.70 support Firefox 11 and 12, you need to apply a special patch. The patch is available here.

    Do you face the problem after that?
