That isn’t what I was referring to. I was referring to changing the word
options to settings. Changing this one word will create an enormous amount
of work for the volunteers who write and keep help articles current.

The setting is part of the general section, so it should be reachable
without any extra steps.

I agree that these changes sometimes seem unnecessarily, but to be fair:
Firefox has now been like this for quite a long time, at least since the
advent of Quantum, and it reflects the way a lot of things look on mobile
devices – and as everything is going multiplatform, this is just what we are
seeing across the board nowadays. Once you get the hang of it, it’s not too
inconvenient. The sections of various headings you see are controlled by a
list box, and you just pick the category in the list box you want, and the
headings with options will appear.

You can control updates. You may have to turn browse mode off to see the
part of the options or settings dialog where you select the category you
will work with.



Previously, the update selection was found in options. In a change in the
current version, there is no more options. Now, its settings. Its in the
tools folder still but the name was changed. Just one more unnecessary
change to momentarily confuse people and require that all support
documentation that mentioned options be rewritten. Do program developers
ever consider what amount of useless and needless work some of their
completely unnecessary changes impose on people?



I’m not singling out Firefox developers but this is an example of how a
change in one word can cause a great deal of work.



There is no more updates section as a separate section in settings. it is
now in the general settings, which is the one you work with by default when
you open settings. Tab and tab and tab and you will eventually get to a
series of radio buttons for determining update behavior.

anymore

So, how long before we all get v.89 unless we take steps not to update.
Don't want to be caught unawares before this happens.

I've tried both w/the NVDA beta as well as the stable version, folks.

It's broken on my system, & that includes w/Narrator & Jaws also.

Obviously not, since I'm the 1 who actually started this thread. Given

that at least 1 other individual is experiencing this, & given that

Mozilla has made significant underlying changes to its interface, I'd

seriously suggest updating w/caution. I guess I'll not comment any

more though, because Narrator & Jaws don't work w/it either, so I

think this is not an issue w/NVDA, & I apologize for posting regarding

it.

Interestingly, if I start firefox when choosing a profile every time,

it works. If I select any profile & start it up w/o asking, it blows

up. In other words, even if I choose a profile from the profile list

and start it, everything's fine. If I load the same profile

automatically, stuff craters. Go figure! How the firetruck does one

report that & be believable?

Hello. I am experiencing the same thing with NVDA, I uninstalled

and reinstalled firefox, ran the calm registration tool, created a

new profile, still nothing and did a system file check, did not find

anything. According to the scan everything was fixed on my windows10

home machine. That is the one I am on right now writing out the email.

Whenever I go to the website just to give you an example

cbsnews.com, I load it on to firefox and getting unknown message

whenever I tab around the page think it loads, whenever I press the

arrow keys it says unknown, am tabbing around again it comes up with

unknown but am not sure what is going on, but when I am going in to

the help section, I have to run the trouble shoot mode, it restarts

in trouble shoot mode everything is fine when am on a website so what is
going on here?

I am not on a network of any kind just your typical modem from

Cox.com using a wired connection. However I do have a second machine

windows10 pro 64 bit and both the home machine and the pro machine

have everything up to date and are running 64 bit, it is weird on

the

windows10 pro I did not have to do anything firefox works great on

that one verses the home machine. I can not figure out why I have to

restart firefox in trouble shoot mode on the windows home machine. I

even did a reset think that would help, no such luck there. In fact

I did load jaws, nothing there. Could someone tell us what is going

on here? Thank you.
