Re: what in the world is happening with firefox and nvda
Joe_L
Fixed (I think!) - in my case it was 64 bit Firefox causing the problem, when I uninstalled this and installed 32bit Firefox it seems much better.
It seems the latest versions of Firefox push a 64 bit install onto any 64 bit operating system. Could this explain why people using the beta saw the problem? In my case it was a new install of FF onto my Win 10 laptop so it gave me the 64 bit version. After uninstalling and a reboot for good measure it took some hunting to find the real 32 bit download (there's a link on the main mozilla download landing page that still installed a 64 bit version). Hope this helps, Joe

Re: windows 7 and new n v d a release
Arlene
Hi, I'm using win 7 home addition. I downloaded the latest version of NVDA. It works just fine. Yes it does benefit win ten. There's no reason why it wont work for 7. If you hear something like windows app ignore it its just for ten. It does work for 7.

A less talked about feature in 2017.3 is ability to move between spelling errors in Microsoft Word (W/Shift+W), along with significant changes to braille output, and of course, braille input. Although I haven't found a way to do it, I still would like to let Windows 7 and 8.x users hear sounds when suggestions appear, and for Windows 8.x, treat Start screen suggestion items the same way as Windows 10 Start menu suggestions (it is doable). Cheers, Joseph

Hi
If you are interested I have the speech platform synth and voices in my drop box account. You need to install the synth run time thingy first then the tts voices after.
The link to the drop box account is https://www.dropbox.com/s/zthyyh9kef7repx/Speech%20Platform%2011%20engine%20and%20voices.zip?dl=0 They are in a zip format at present but after the synth run time thingy has been installed there are quite a few different voices and languages to pick from.
I do also have the speech hub package if you want it as well but the add on will have to be installed as well. I can give directions for that one but they are in english for voices etc. Just let me know if you are interested in this one to.

Re: NVDA is freezing up and incredibly slow

Also, from the way your message is written, it
isn't clear if the performance problems only happen when you run NVDA or if they
occur in general. You said you are new to NVDA but you didn't say if these
are general problems or only present when you run NVDA.

Attention those with Firefox and thunderbird brose mode single letter nave issues.
Brian's Mail list account <bglists@...>
Just found this...
Please read this here or go to the address. is this the effect or effects that have been a problem with some users in Thunderbird and firefox here recently. if so get a github account or sub to the mail list and report it in one of the issues mentioned below. https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/7269#issuecomment-325105666 Browse mode in Mozilla Gecko products no longer can be used after restarting NVDA due to IAccessible2 interface registration issues #7269 Open michaelDCurran opened this issue on 9 Jun · 8 comments Comments Assignees @michaelDCurran michaelDCurran Labels p1 Projects None yet Milestone No milestone 6 participants michaelDCurran jcsteh beqabeqa473 jage9 gregjozk mohdshara @michaelDCurran Contributor michaelDCurran commented on 9 Jun Steps to reproduce: This can only be reproduced on a small amount of machines running Windows 10 Creaters Update. While NVDA is running: . Start Firefox and navigate a page with NVDA browse mode . Restart NVDA . Move back to Firefox and try and navigate the page. Browse mode will not be available due to NVDA not being able to queryService to IAccessibleApplication to fetch the Gecko version. @michaelDCurran michaelDCurran added the p1 label on 9 Jun @michaelDCurran michaelDCurran self-assigned this on 9 Jun @jcsteh Contributor jcsteh commented on 9 Jun . edited CC @derekriemer, @josephsl, who I believe are experiencing this. @beqabeqa473 beqabeqa473 commented on 9 Jun also have the same problem. @jage9 Contributor This comment left via email reply. jage9 commented on 9 Jun Confirmed here as well. I usually notice it after an NVDA update which of course would be a restart of NVDA. @jcsteh Contributor jcsteh commented on 9 Jun #7207 is possibly related, though we don't have enough technical info there to be sure. @jcsteh Contributor jcsteh commented on 9 Jun . edited Note that #5758 has similar symptoms, but is very different technically and can be worked around. It'd be good if those of you who believe you are experiencing this can do the following: 1. Switch to another application that isn't a Mozilla application. You may need to start another application if you don't have another open. 2. Restart NVDA. 3. Now switch back to the Mozilla application. If you're experiencing #5758, everything will now work as expected. If you're experiencing this new issue (#7269), nothing will fix things except restarting the Mozilla app. @jcsteh Contributor jcsteh commented on 9 Jun @michaelDCurran, as discussed, we should log CoRegisterPSClsid failures as errors to help diagnose issues like this. @gregjozk gregjozk commented on 11 Jul Hi, confirmed on windows 10 (64-bit) build 15063.413 last firefox (54.0.1 - 32-bit) and NVDA (last next snapshot). This problem has been detected for a while. @jcsteh jcsteh referenced this issue on 27 Jul Closed Problem in Thunderbird and Firefox when restarting NVDA (next branch) #7442 @jcsteh jcsteh marked this as a duplicate of #7442 on 27 Jul @leonardder leonardder referenced this issue 3 hours ago Closed working in browsers is broken after restart of NVDA #7523 @mohdshara mohdshara commented 3 hours ago confirmed with NVDA 2017.3 and firefox 55..0.3.

Re: NVDA and Libreoffice

Yep, you can still buy it. In Australian dollars, it's $179 for Office 2016 Home and Student vs $89 / year for Office 365 personal or $119 for Office 365 Home. US pricing will be slightly different but the ratio is probably similar.

Re: [NVDA stopping Outlook 2016
Brian's Mail list account <bglists@...>
The thing is that it seems to be that even older outlooks suffer from this crash or freeze in different places, and if it could be tackled from the nvda side it might help those who cannot really afford to buy the latest and greatest version of Office. Just thought I'd put that point. I myself do not use Outlook, so I'm not affected here.
