Spy Web - Record Web does not work with FireFox

Hi Everyone!

I am new to Katalon, just downloaded it on a virtual machine (Windows 10 x64).
I have Java JDK 10, fresh installed.

I try to open the default url with Spy Web (http://demoaut.katalon.com/) using Firefox and I got an error message

Website is opened in the background.

When I try to use Record Web, the same error occurs when I stop the recording.

Is it only me? :slight_smile:

I am also experiencing this issue.

Which version of Firefox are you using on your virtual machine? Firefox 56+ is required

https://docs.katalon.com/display/KD/Supported+Environments

Iโ€™m running Firefox Quantum v. 60.0.2

I am also experiencing this issue. I cannot use Firefox with record web or spy web. I am using the same version as stated above. v. 60.0.2

I too am having this problem. I cannot record in Firefox (same version listed above by other users) or in Chrome.

Please help to post Katalon Studio logs: http://forum.katalon.com/discussion/4405/read-this-first-before-reporting-an-issue-bug#latest

## Katalon Studio logs:

Media I see that as well if I do not have the Chrome browser in focus. If I click into the area that I am trying to record the objects in and then โ€˜markโ€™ them it captures just fine. Maybe this is the issue you are seeing with Chrome?

I have verified that this is definitely NOT the issue in Firefox. If someone has any advice or a solution please advise.

If i donโ€™t have the focus on the chrome window when i hit the mark shortcut the marker stay red without flashing.

When i got the focus, the marker flash green but nothing is capture in the spy web window.

I think there is a dependency for using the spy web and recorder tool.

On my laptop everything run smoothly with katalon studio x64 5.3.0 / 5.3.1 / 5.4.2.

On the desktop and laptop of my trainee, i got the issues described before with katalon studio x64 5.3.0 / 5.3.1 / 5.4.2.
