Hi
Try the following
In mozilla fire fox go to tools then down to add ons then press the enter key.
You might have to tab a couple of times, but you will be looking for a list. here you can arrow up and down the list.
There are 2 sections one was check the extensions and also the plugins section.
Go to the say add ons or extensions one then tab a couple of times. On both of them you can disable the players from starting automatically.
so depending what you have it might be a html 5 player, flash player, shock wave player. etc
You can always enable them again from there. But i think at present it will only do it when i want it to.

Hi, I also suggest this utility as it restores the pull down menus to MS Office in Win10. http://www.addintools.com/office2010/professionalplus/OfficeMenu.exe. It costs $29 and it is worth the price. I am using it with MS Office Pro 2013. Blessings. Pascal

I don't know if this is the case in any programs or parts of Windows discussed but are any features lost by reverting in this way? I don't use Word, but it is so differently organized in ribbon versions and there are so many settings that I can't help but wonder if access to some features or settings is lost.

Re: NVDA and MS Office 365
Well to be honest unless you use excell I use jarte pluss and that works.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
office 2010 and 2007 are still supported offices and still use bits of the older interface. I still have an old fully legal coppy of office xp but its not going to work on 10 is it, unless there is a way. Then again jarte and the right converters are all I need I don't need the rest. I have heard about wps office which is a 30 dollar subscription also a free one if you don't mind your documents being marked, you can also buy a lifetime licence for 1 pc for 80 dollars, the 30 per year subscription gives you smart phone access. Aparently its been round since 1997 and is chinese owned but I am unsure if it is accessible or not. Its still cheaper per system than ms office is to be honest though. Where something like 365 does come in is if you have multiple devices, use onedrive and make a lot of skype calls. There are subscriptions that will make it worth your while. While I have not found out how to do it with dropbox google drive has a plugin for direct saving to google drive and I have installed it. Pluss it appears ms office has a few free programs. sway, todo, lens and one note are all free programs for just about everything. A standard user only needs the home version which is only about 140 dollars. The business versions have things like powerpoint publisher, access and outlook the home version is word powerpoint and excell which is about all everyone needs to be honest. If you do work in a company there is the home use program and this is how the family bar me use to have office on their systems.

If you are using that key combination for something else in Firefox that you had previously designated yourself, just go into the view menu and arrow to the reader view option manually and hit enter. Shouldn't that work for you even though you redesignated that key combination for your personal use?
