Addressing FireFox Tabbed URLs
Hi All,
I've run into a problem with TC v7.5 and the FireFox v3.5.5 browser.
I need to be able to open up multiple versions of the AUT (IE & FF). The IE script works fine, since each browser is a separate process. In FireFox, TC only sees 1 process (even if there are 2 or more browsers open). I've tried to use tabbed browsing in FF, and that works to a degree.
I need to navigate each FF tabbed window to the same url. Inspecting the processes, the Page() object will sometimes have the identical Page() object with the same url. I'm not sure how to differentiate between the two similar objects.
In playing around with FF and Tabs, I was able to get distinct Page() objects if I used Ctrl-T when opening the new url. This gives me the objects :
Page('http:\\server\page1.html') (tab 1)
and
Page('http:\\server\page1.html',1) (tab 2)
Has anyone solved the problem of addressing the FireFox tabs that are on the same url?
Thanks!
Steve
