Hi c676228,

which version of Firefox is currently installed? If you are using Firefox 41 please update Ranorex to 5.4.2.
After doing so please run the instrumentation wizard for Firefox again.

Regards,
Bernhard

I checked it again. Firefox was somehow upgraded to version 40.0 even I have disabled in advanced tab from options that never check for updates. When I installed Firefox, it was 39.0.

However I remember in your release note. 5.4.1. should support Firefox 40. If so, I should not have seen this "disabled" Ranorex plug in, right?

I've experienced problem like this after installing FF 40.03. But I'm not using FF for testing, so I did not investigate this issue in depth. Only today, it got somehow fixed. After I mistakenly started FF.exe instead of FF portable I'm normally using, there appeared a dialog about installing/enabling another Ranorex plugin? It seems that there are two plugins distributed with Ranorex 5.4.1 and only one of them is compatible with FF 40 and higher?

Odklizec,

My firefox is clearly pointed firefox.exe. I don't know how Ranorex Plugin got disabled and how to get it enabled again without reinstallation. Not mentioning I ever saw two plugins for Firefox during installation. I am reluctant to reinstall Firefox 39 and Ranorex Plugin again for now.
Trying to wait for Ranorex's more input. I have seen too many weird behaviors from Firefox and got kind of frustrated.

Hi,

My guess is, that Ranorex 5.4.1 install somehow did not install the new Ranorex plugin. See this screenshot...

So all you might have to do is to install that new plugin manually. The old one will still be disabled, but the new one will work just fine.

Thanks odklizec. I did reinstall both Ranroex and Firefox.
The issues which include auto upgrade of firefox initiated by Ranorex and Ranorex Firefox plugin itself has been reported to Ranorex.
