I have problems with Firefox browser buttons such as Allow, Share etc. Anyone has idea on this ?
I installed Ranorex plugin, it works fine with page in the browser but has problems with buttons and dialogs associated with the browser. Actually same problem sometimes seen on Chrome browser also.
Thanks,
Rastek.

Hello Rastek,
May I ask which version of Ranorex and which version of Firefox you are currently using?

Re: Firefox Browser dialog and buttons recognition problem
Hi
I use firefox 38 with Ranorex extension 1.0.8 and Ranorex 5.3.2
The problem is not with Firefox recognition I think, because it recognizes applications but not Firefox browser dialog and buttons.
Same problem also seen on chrome browser which I wrote several times here but did not get a working solution.
Thanks.

Hello rastek,
It would be great if you could provide a link to a sample page, which contains the problematic elements.
Thanks,

Hi Robert,
I think he means "Allow" button displayed by FF, for example if you try to install an add-on. Ranorex is able to detect the container surrounding the "Allow" button but not button itself. To invoke the button, go to Tools >> Options >> Security and in "Warn me when sites try to install add-ons" exceptions remove "addons.mozilla.org". Then try to install an add-on from addons.mozilla.org. You should get a popup with Allow button, which is not traceable.

Hello guys,
I already assumed that you're talking about the native windows from Firefox. It is quite tricky to capture them correctly. These windows and its containing buttons can be found within the Firefox form element, but the “from point”-tracking isn’t working.
Possible workaround 1:
Hope this helps.

Possible workaround 1:
- • Use a keypress action in order to interact with the control.
- • Disable the “MozillaWeb”-plugin
- o Open Ranorex Spy
Hope this helps.

Hi,
Where in FF can be found such buttons? Could you please post a screenshot or even better some steps how to invoke them?
