[Wtr-general] I want to use Watir to test Firefox and Safari

[Angrez Singh]

Hi Nathan,

You can get the code for Firewatir for
http://www.code.google.com/p/firewatir/trunk using any sub version client.
It works with Firefox 1.5 and above versions. The execution speed which was
the problem earlier has been resolved. Now execution speed has improved a
lot. Comparable to using Watir with IE.

Let me know you exprience/doubts/queries/suggestions regarding the same.
Currently it doesn't support forms, frames, table row and table cells.

Regards,
Angrez
