I tried to run Firefox 140 now with TestComplete 15.79 in the way you suggest and also according to the docs.
It looks now like the correct tcFirefoxRunner.exe is used but actions like navigate are incredibly slow and unreliable (sometimes it just throws a lot of The object "Sys.Browser("firefox").Preferences" does not exist errors)
I'm also in touch with the SmartBear support on that matter.
I was hoping to get info here from other users on their experience of the new Firefox support and if they are experiencing the same issues.

Hi MCH​ , Audrey_Blake​ seems to be a fake profile using AI chatbot for answers.

Got it, "from tc import *" is used to bring in all TC objects into scope.

As mentioned in my first post, use tcFirefoxRunner.exe in Tested Apps, to launch the supported version of Firefox. And if it doesn't work, then it's most likely a bug!

    Thanks rraghvani​,
     I tried out starting Firefox via TestedApps. 
    Still Firefox remains unresponsive and unstable when running simple commands like Navigate.
