Getting QTP 9.5 plugin incompatible error on Firefox 3.0.8

[sepgs2004]

On QTP 9.5 - Automation - Record and Run Settings: It has Firefox 3.0 as a supported browser. When I see in Mozilla Firefox 3.0.8 - Tools - Addons - It says "QuickTest Professional 9.5 Not compatible with Firefox 3.0.8.

I tried installing earlier version of firefox (Firefox 3.0.4) and tried. Still the same problem.
It looks like the problem is somewhere else.
QTP was already there in the system when I installed Firefox. Do we have to do anything else in order to settle this?

Thanks.

Officially, QTP 9.5 supports Mozilla Firefox 1.5, 2.0.x and 3.0 Alpha 7 only.

I think, 3.0 Alpha 7 is different from 3.0.7.
I tried Firefox 2.0 though, it worked. Thanks.

However, I want to settle with a version of 3.0; no success with 3.0.7.
It seems hard to get a specific earlier/archived version of mozilla.
Following seems the authentic place to get:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/ins...of-firefox
Where do you guys get older versions of Firefox?
I do NOT see any archived versions that says 3.0 alpha 7.



Or I do not know if this is due to the change I did on the install.rdf file.
BTW, could anyone, who has QTP 9.5.0, refer this file (<QTP_Installation>\bin\Mozilla\AgentPlugInFireFox30\install.rdf) and tell me what you got there... I think I changed the value of <em:maxVersion>.. </em:maxVersion> to 3.0.* and forgot what it was before.


my install.rdf file content is shown below:

Any comments?

Finally found this Firefox alpha 7 in nightly builds here They seem to be called Minefield.

Is there any QTP upgrade to 9.5.0 or newer version of QTP that supports a real released version of Firefox 3.0?
