Of course I think firefoxs answer is the best one, you can open the download list which is a simple list of current session downloads. If you use navigational sounds as I do, then you can hear the end of a download whether you have the download list visible or not.

downloading a file using NVDA
Don H
So I go to the addon's web site and pick the addon I want to download. I find a button for downloading the stable version of the addon. I hit enter on the download button and nothing seems to happen. With Window Eyes when you do the same you are given a status bar that you read with alt n and it gives you the option of open or save and with a selection of save the download begins. Then when the download is complete you are given several options whether to open the file and such.
So with NVDA what are the exact steps to download from a web page? Thanks

Re: strange thing happening in thunderbird
Gene
I forgot to mention one feature Windows Live Mail
has that I really like. You can read mail as plain text and, if you find a
message you want to read as HTML, you can open the message and have that message
shown as HTML using one command. It will show the opened message as HTML
and when you close it and move to another message and open it, it will again be
shown as plain text. The command is alt shift h. The command is also
available in Outlook Express.

Subject: Re: [nvda] strange thing happening in
thunderbird Opinions may differ. You may want to try
Windows Live Mail. The newer version uses ribbons. The older version
uses menus but you will have to get the older version from an individual.
Microsoft no longer distributes it. I've heard contradictory things about
whether the old version runs in Windows 10.
One difference between Windows Live Mail and
thunderbird that I consider somewhat substantive is that you can't make message
rules in Windows Live Mail if you are using an IMAP account. Thunderbird
lets you do so.
You can make message rules on the server level so
using Windows Live Mail doesn't preclude message rules but I've never looked
into how this is done.
Aside from that, I consider Windows Live Mail to
have small advantages, but they may matter enough to consider.
Windows Live Mail has a very convenient short
cut. You can return to the default inbox from any folder if you issue the
command control I.
also, you can rearange the order of header fields
and determine which fields are shown from the keyboard. Thunderbird
requires using a mouse or your screen-reader's drag and drop feature. You
can't rearange the order of fields or determine which fields are displayed
from the keyboard.
And the question of rearanging the order of columns
is made more important because Thunderbird shows and reads header columns in an
order that a lot of blind people wouldn't want. It reads the subject
first, then the from line. If it followed the standard order, the question
of not being able to rearrange columns from the keyboard might be of slight
matter. But since the columns are in an order that would be considered
undesirable for many blind people, that matter becomes more
important.
Windows 10 has its own e-mail app but I'll let
others comment on that. I don't have Windows 10 and I haven't used it nor
learned much about it.

My thoughts on NVDA and windows 10 and edge, mail and typing.
matthew dyer
Hi,
First off, I wanted to say that I am using NVDA 2016.3 with windows 10 and like it, but found one small problem. When in edge typing in a form field, or in mail composing or replying to a message, NVDA does announce what I am typing but if I backspace over what I am typing I here the deleted character.. Any one having this problem and is there is a fix for this. Thanks. Just wanted to point that out since NVDA 2016.4 is just around the corner. Thanks.

I think a while back i covered how to add a attachment to your email and also saving it to your pc in my thunderbird tutorial. The insert attachment is still under the file menu and your attachments are now found in your messages section. Not much as changed in thunderbird.
