Oh, how can you tell then? I find a lot of pages refresh afterwards and that little click is a clue. Try  doing anything on some yahoo sites.
Also the downloading finished sound means you do not need to always open the download window.
I think its important to remember that everyone uses windows differently and in the way most convenient to them,  just stopping one feature without some discussion with users is stupid and arrogant in my view. It means that they know best, and that has never been my experience. Windows works for people as its very much configurable.

I don't need sounds to tell me if something is loading.

hi,
i have the same problem with the same version of Firefox. however, i
use Windows 10 version 1709 with the latest built and NVDA 2017.4
sometimes by moving away and coming back it loads while at other times
it won't. it is irritating and i've not been able to establish one set
method for it to launch.
it also says "toolbar edit".
it made me wonder if some toolbar had been installed that caused this
to happen. not certain on this either.
thanks for any solutions.

IE in recent master snaps, using Firefox 52 esr, when you maybe want to

at the userguide or what's new and its the first time you have used the

switch away and back or hit alt and cancel it.

I am on windows 7, but did wonder if all the recent fiddling to get the
latest version of firefox to work might have compromised the esr version
in

some way.
 Has anyone else noticed this at all?  Its not a major hassle as this sort
of thing is how often things used to work some years ago for me in xp, but
thought I'd best mention it here before putting electrons on Github.
