Lisa, I have not needed to run tests on Firefox but any day now I will so I am trying to see how I can make Firefox execution transparent to my tests. Watirloo is a pilot project look for me to make tests run on any browser and have a unified interface and then some extra helpers like radio_group and checkbox_group I am just trying to get to a different level of ignorance with this framework as a Watir Helper
