You need to use a Launch new {Browser} action, like Launch new Chrome or Launch new Microsoft Edge to actually launch the browser and open the URL.

 

As to the error you posted there, it is related to the page not loading. The reason why it doesn't load, might be that the page is slow, or it might also be that it's not really supported by the Automation Browser. So, try using a different browser, like Chrome or Edge and see if that solves the problem.

 

Further actions you've used up until this point should generally work with any browser.

Instead of using the native Automation Browser, I would recommend using a proper browser with an extension, like Google Chrome, MS Edge, etc. PAD supports these, but you need to install the appropriate extension. You can do that via the designer by clicking Tools > Browser extensions:

The native Automation Browser runs on the Internet Explorer engine and is thus limited, and not supported by some pages.
