I want to automate testing of java based applications, not exactly portals though.
RFT 7 version that we have is not compatible with latest version of Firefox, so we need another tool, preferably open source.
Please suggest some replacement for Selenium and RFT. The purpose is automation of Functional testing.
I think you meant "Web applications", since that's what Selenium is for.
I suggest Sahi Open Source: works with many browsers, OS independent. I've never used it though, so can't give you a proper review.
Both RFT (Rational Functional Tester) and Selenium is used for Functional & Regression test of web. RFT is commercial & Selenium is open source/free tool.
There are some other free tools that you can try. Such as

I have some programming experience and want to switch to QA roles that suit my skills better, I have more knowledge of Java but some Python.
I am wondering if I should focus on Selenium that I have some knowledge of or Protractor or Cypress that are considered as the latest standards?
I am more of a front end guy as a developer.
Also, I generally use guru99, tutorialspoint or w3schools to get started. Any other great resources for free or less expensive for quick learning for these topics?
Will cloud upgrades affect this learning process?
Please advice.
Selenium is still the most wide used web UI automation tool, having a lot of tutorials for any level of experience etc. Also, once you know one tool, you will be able to learn other similar tools in the future easily. Also, Selenium supports and mainly used in programming languages you already know while the other tools you mentioned using JavaScript. So, I'd advice you to start (and then continue) with Selenium.
I think Protractor is being dropped by Angular in favor of Cypress.
Please see
The State of end-to-end testing with Angular
...we’ve decided to deprecate Protractor
and #cypress/schematic.
Component testing
Also consider that Cypress has first-class component testing (as well as e2e testing) which has better speed than e2e but better coverage than unit testing.

and Cypress Component Testing vs Angular Test Harness
I have to write a recorder and playback feature for browser based applications. I am first exploring the open source alternatives available. I am fluent with java. I am wondering in which language selenium ide written in?. My research shows javascript, but still would like to confirm it with someone who is familiar with this domain.
Thanks,
Seems to be javascript.
It's an open source project so you can see the code here https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium-ide
I am currently working on node-webkit based desktop app. I was searching for a way to do automation testing for this . But most of the automation tools required a server to start up but in my case i have on but it runs in the chromium that comes by default. Is there a way to automate UI acceptance test for nwjs apps.
Take a look at the NW.js Wiki under How to run node webkit's test cases
You will need to setup the chrome driver in order to use selenium for example
Once you have those, check out Yaniv kessler's blog post on how to Automate NW.js UI testing using mocha.
I may need to work with Ranorex Automation tool for automating
NW.js Desktop based web technologies implemented
can anyone please share your work experiences with this tool?
Thanks,
Vijay
Is there any particular reason why you would want to use Ranorex for this work.
Have you considered Selenium which is free and should work great with NW.js
My project is compatible only with Internet Explorer. I want the test scripts to get generated automatically as it is done in Selenium IDE.Can i use selenium RC to test my application?
I could not use selenium IDE as it can be used only with Mozilla Firefox.
Can you suggest any other free tools for my project.
thanks in advance ...
I think if you dig around for earlier versions of selenium they are compatible with IE. We use it here for front-end automation via IE6 anyway
