    Think I figured it out.  That was the first project I started up.  Then I unchecked the legacy settings per instruction in the project properties.

    Long story short: I started a new project which had the correct project settings from the beginning.  Now it works!

Did someone manually map those browsers?  If that's the case, then everytime you record, it will use what's already mapped.

What you can do is manually map the generic browser object and then click-drag all your pages and such to that generic object.

 

I just tried it in TC 14.0 and it mapped correcly as a generic browser.

      Thanks for your help!  You cofirmed what I was looking for.  Kind of curious the "legacy" setting is checked as a default.  Anyway,  lesson learned.
