    Does your TestComplete patch is at same level than your firefox version ?

    Launch the TestComplete -> Help -> Check for updates to be sure.

     

    Normally, Chrome/Firefox need patches of Testcomplete and IE no need.

    So currently, after preparing the browser, it works on Chrome.

    Not in Firefox (and you have made all of the preparing steps even additionnal ones?)

    And in IE it should works, does it ?

ahah.. this is used in tester and dev world,and it means Read The **bleep**ing Manual.. because in software, end-user always ask questions and send problems before even read a single line of the documentation 😁

    Thank you for helping BenoitB!

     

    Hi gdave, were you able to make it work for the other browsers using the suggested approach?

      Hi

       

      Sorry for delay in reply.

       

      Yes the suggested approach worked partially. I had to involve our IT team as some of the browser configuration permissions are controlled at organisational level. The work is still under progress, specially firefox configuration. However I am able to do most stuff as of now. Thanks

       

      Thanks
