    I just realized that i am not only one who has this issue, i followed the instruction of doc "preparing FF" and TC still does not recognize ff as browser occasionally.

    weired thing is, if i restart TC, page will be recognized as browser again.

    this is a quit big issue for my web tests, can someone tell me how you work around it?

    Thanks and Br,

    Lee
