Testing with Mozilla Firefox

This functionality is supported only if you are using the Open Agent.

This section describes how you can enhance your cross-browser test set by testing with Mozilla Firefox.

Silk Test Classic supports recording actions and replaying tests on Mozilla Firefox.

Tip: If you want to execute an existing test script with Mozilla Firefox, Micro Focus recommends that you use a base state or that you add a command to the test script to navigate to the URL.

While recording with Silk Test Classic on Mozilla Firefox 52 or later, Mozilla Firefox opens external links in a new tab, instead of a new window. Disable the OPT_FIREFOX_SINGLE_WINDOW_MODE option in the Browser options to open external links in a new window.

Example 1

If the running instance of Mozilla Firefox was initially started with the command C:/program files/Mozilla/firefox.exe www.borland.com, Mozilla Firefox opens to www.borland.com after the restart.

Example 2

If the running instance of Mozilla Firefox was initially started with the command C:/program files/Mozilla/firefox.exe, Mozilla Firefox opens to about:blank after the restart.
