OK forgive me for my previous Reply, half-Rant and half-polluting the Thread, oops...!haitashe wrote: ↑Thu Mar 07, 2019 9:52 pmThank you for your answer chivracq, I started testing old version of iMacros in PaleMoon and yes, it works so much better than glitchy FF (outdated). The file upload doesn't work in 10.0.2 as you saying which is bad and not suitable already for us, PE we can't use also because we are working as a team with 4 more people, Enterprise version gives us the additional 5 machines to use with the same license, also the newest version of iMacros browser or IE I hope so, they have functionality like image validation which is very useful for us, as there is a lot of banks with security when you only can mouse click on PIN codes, the image validation do this work amazingly and we love it.
Older versions cannot do this, 8.9.7 was the best version, but it's already outdated and doesn't have functionality which we need in 2019.
The biggest problem here is the FILEDELETE which locks the file and f***k up our all automation.
(But this one is the most "interesting" Thread on the Forum at "this moment", ah-ah...! I managed to watch "silently" for a while until I couldn't resist anymore, oops...! (Not much I can add, I would think, when there is some clear "Bug" with one specific Command in one specific Version...) )
Most Stable FCI 2019-03 is still FF55 and v8.9.7 for FF, if your IT-Dept still allows you to use FF55.
=> If they "absolutely" want to update FF55 to FF65, and if you are allowed to install PM..., then PM28 works with iMacros for FF v8.9.7.
And like I already mentioned, PM is more stable and reliable and faster than FF, and even more suitable for Business Environments I would think, where 'Parental Control' for example and some more "unnecessary" Functionality has been stripped in PM.
(If you want to "relate", I'm a "Private" User and my "Prod-Env" is still using iMacros for FF v8.8.2 + PM v26.3.3, and I do maintain a v8.9.7 + FF55 mostly for the Forum, and I don't care about about v10.0.2, too buggy and limited for me, not usable... And yep, I only have the 'Free' Edition "now" (well, a bit "customized"), but I had a chance to test the Full 'PE' Version during the Beta-Testing period..., and hum..., not "impressed" (compared to v8.9.7), Reason why I'm kind of "waiting" for some next v10.0.x for FF Update... )
I've always been using the Free Add-on for FF, so I don't really know all the Licensing Models, especially since all Commercial Versions came out with v10.0.x for CR/FF and v12.5 for IE.
But yep, I know the 'DS' Mode and 'Image Validation' can be very powerful, I never had a chance to test/play with those myself, as I always only used the Free Add-on for FF, even if I've been using iMacros for about 10 years now, ah-ah...!
=> " 8.9.7 was the best version, but it's already outdated and doesn't have functionality which we need in 2019."
=> Best Version: Correct...!
=> "Outdated": Beh..., pfff..., nope, I don't really agree... (As I still use that Version myself, and even some previous Version for my 'Prod' Env..., so 'v8.9.7' is definitely not "Updated" yet, and still has a few months to "live"..., and maybe even longer, if PM keeps supporting v8.9.7 for FF...
=> "doesn't have functionality which we need in 2019." Hum..., I agree a bit with you on that..., apart from the fact that a lot of Functionality in v8.9.7 is not supported anymore (or yet...?) in v10.0.2 which was the first v10.x Version for FF, there are a few "extra" Functionalities that iMacros should (or very soon...!) cover, and that I have already mentioned earlier... Hum, trying to find the Thread...
But hum, this is maybe already too "Advanced" Thinking, iMacros for FF must first get back to the Level of v8.9.7 qua Functionality...

But OK, @OP, you realize I completely "polluted" your Thread about 'FILEDELETE', very sorry about that, gggrrr, I only thought I had some "obvious" easy Solution..., with v10.0.2 for FF, only I had forgotten that 'File Upload' was not supported in this Version... (I knew you were in "good hands" with @Marcia and @Tom from TechSup, but hum..., I thought I was more clever at some point...)
=> Time to go shouting for some new v10.x for FF with a bit more Functionality than v10.0.2...
And otherwise, like I mentioned, PM27 or PM28 still support(s) iMacros for FF v8.9.7, with all Functionality thus...!

Oh hum, about the "I thought I was more clever at some point..."..., euh..., I would actually have 4 or 5 Workarounds for your Scenario... (OK, a few are a bit cumbersome, and 1 very cumbersome, involves both iMacros for FF + CR running at the same time, ah-ah...!, quite funny...!, with CR doing the 'Upload' part, and FF doing the 'FILEDELETE'... [But forget about it...!]), maybe I'll let @Tom from TechSup mention at least 2...!?
And I always tend to be "a bit verbose" in my Posts, oops...! About my 4 or 5 'Workarounds" yet, oh jee...! Well, one is "easy", and involves the 'Scripting Interface' and deleting the 'File' from '.VBS'..., or the "Deleting" '.VBS' could also be standalone and just for that purpose (and launched manually), just like a '.CMD'/'.BAT'/'.PS' File...
