You’re absolutely right: to automate modern Firefox versions (e.g. 145) in TestComplete 15.79+, you need to use Puppeteer-based automation via tcFirefoxRunner.exe. Simply calling Browsers.Item[btFirefox].Run(...) will use the legacy Firefox executable, which is not compatible.

Correct way in Python:

import Browsers

def test():
    Browsers.Item["Firefox"].Run("http://smartbear.com/products")

Under the hood, TestComplete will launch tcFirefoxRunner.exe in RemoteAgent mode, which is required for Puppeteer support. (SmartBear Support)

For more details, refer to the TestComplete docs: Web Testing with Firefox — Running Firefox with tcFirefoxRunner.exe.
