Hi,

Recording of action steps on FireFox browser is not supported in VS2013 Coded UI test. Coded UI Tests can be played back on Chrome and Firefox browsers with Visual Studio 2012 Update 4 or later. Go here for more details. Reference:

Supported Configurations and Platforms for Coded UI Tests and Action Recordings

If you got any issues when playing Coded UI test back with FireFox, please consult on ‘Q AND A’ through starting a discussion in this page: http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/11cfc881-f8c9-4f96-b303-a2780156628d/ because cross browser testing with Coded UI test is more related to Selenium components.

Thank you for your undertsanding.

Hi Rahul

Take a look at your search & filter properties.  Here's a good blog about them Blog

Essentially it sounds like Class needs moving from your Search Properties and adding into filter properties twice once with each value you mention.
