Not sure what "from tc import *" does, but to launch Firefox browser, it's

# Open smartbear.com in Firefox browser:
Browsers.Item[btFirefox].Run("http://smartbear.com");

And take note of Web Testing with Firefox and Supported Browsers

Mozilla Firefox 91 - 115.10 ESR, 94 - 140 (both 32- and 64-bit versions)

Note: Beta versions of Mozilla Firefox may not work with TestComplete. They are not supported and we recommend using a stable release.

Add tcFirefoxRunner.exe (from TestComplete Bin folder) to your Tested Apps list, and launch it from Tested Apps.

    "from tc import *" is required now to be able to use global TC objects like Browsers:
    Working with TestComplete Global Objects in Python 3.13

    I will try to find a installation for Firefox 140.
    It is annoying that smartbear promised "TestComplete now supports all current and future versions of Firefox" with 15.77 but only lists a firefox version that is already 5 months old. If i setup a new test machine and install firefox i automatically get the newest version.

    Is it required to use Tested Apps? I would prefer to launch FF from script without using Tested Apps.
