Browser Compatibility of QTP 9.2

QuickTest supports recording tests only on Microsoft Internet Explorer. It supports running tests on the following Web browsers:
➤ Microsoft Internet Explorer
➤ Netscape Browser
➤ Mozilla Firefox
➤ Applications with embedded Microsoft Internet Explorer Web browser controls

Keep the following in mind when using Microsoft Internet Explorer as your Web browser:
➤ QuickTest Professional Web support behaves as a browser extension in Microsoft Internet Explorer. Therefore, you cannot use the Web Add-in on Microsoft Internet Explorer without enabling the Enable third-party browser extensions option. To set the option, in Microsoft Internet Explorer choose Tools > Internet Options > Advanced and select the Enable thirdparty
browser extensions option.
➤ QuickTest Professional does not support tabbed browsing. Therefore, before using the Web Add-in, you must disable tabbed browsing on Internet Explorer. To disable the option, in Microsoft Internet Explorer choose Tools > Internet Options > Advanced and clear the Enable Tabbed Browsing option. After clearing this option, you must restart your browser before using the QuickTest Professional Web Add-in.

Keep the following in mind when using Netscape Browser or Mozilla Firefox:
➤ You must be logged-in with Administrator privileges (or have write permissions to the browser’s installation folder) on the QuickTest computer when launching Mozilla Firefox with QuickTest for the first time, since adding QuickTest support for Mozilla Firefox requires a file to be created in the browser's installation folder.
➤ You can record tests on Microsoft Internet Explorer and run them on Netscape Browser or Mozilla Firefox. You cannot record tests on Netscape Browser or Mozilla Firefox. There are two ways to create tests to run on Netscape Browser or Mozilla Firefox:
1) Record the test on Microsoft Internet Explorer.
2) Use the keyword-driven methodology: create an object repository for your application using the Object Repository window (local object repository) or Object Repository Manager (shared object repository), and then add steps using the Keyword View or Step Generator. When you use the keyword-driven methodology, you can add objects using Mozilla Firefox or Netscape if you want; you do not have to use Microsoft Internet Explorer.
