Hello Gene,

I like the bookmark idea and will probably go with that.

To answer some of your questions:

It seems to be a series of buttons, I think 3 in total. I have only ever heard the last two which say something along the lines of "open login page" and "close this message," respectively.

Using brows mode to navigate by buttons doesn't work as these buttons seem to not be in the main document. It was one of the first strategies I tried.

For now, I think the bookmark option is the simplest solution.

I doubt it.  When a dialog opens on a web page, NVDA says the word "dialog."  Have you gotten to the alert message or heard its entire text?  On the new page you open, what is this option; is it a link?  Instead of tabbing until you get to it on the new page, use the screen-reader search function and search from the top of the page for the word "open."  See if you can find whatever it is on the page.  If you can't find it, I may find something in firefox that makes finding the alert easier.

New main steps start on new lines:
Alt t then o to open options. 
After waiting a moment, tab once.  You are now in a list of categories.
Start down arrowing until you get to security.

There is no ok button in this dialog-like structure.  Settings take immediate effect.  This is a web page in the browser and since you are on a web page that mimics a dialog, do whatever you want to do that you would do while on a web page after you change the setting.  That is, go to another page by using a book mark, close the browser, etc.

I am using the extended service release of Firefox on windows 10 machine with the stable release of NVDA. Sometimes Firefox will put up notices, such as when it offers to remember passwords or when it informs you that has blocked a redirection from the site. How can I access these in order to either tell it I don’t want it to save a password or that I do wanted to allow a redirection?

This isn't about changing settings.  That's a useful way to get to different settings quickly, which is useful but it doesn't address the question which deals with notifications that appear in firefox and how you move to them and work with them.

to save all that searching, just go to the address bar and type in about:preferences#security, this will take you straight to the security page.
if you want to go to the general page, it is about:preferences#general and if you want to go to the applications page, about:preferences#applications.  I think you can understand where this is going, if you want to go anywhere on that page, you type about:# and then the name of the section.  once you have landed there, you can do what you have to do.

hope that this helps.

Re: How does NVDA read text boxes?

Why is it difficult for the screen reader to recognize text fields? If they would be defined as objects in the source code I think there would not be a problem. Or am I wrong?

here is one way of doing it.

This works because,once you are in a text box (or picture or other object) you can press TAB to move between them. 

here is what you need to do.

1 Save the document, to keep any changes you want to keep .
2 Add a text box into a document by pressing alt+n, x, enter

3 Press escape once (so you are out of the text itself but the text box is still selected),
4 You can press TAB to move between the objects in the document (this wraps so if you press TAB on the last object in the document it will jump back to the first object). 
5 Remove the text box you just added, by exiting the document without saving changes.

Text boxes are difficult for a screen reader to access.

Here's how you get this going.
1. extract the zip file to somewhere. There will be a folder called
"addon"
in there.
2. Copy the file
manifest.ini.tpl
Into the
"addon"
folder
3. Rename that file to
"manifest.ini"
less the quotes of course.
4. Open up your favorite archive manager, navigate to the
"addon"
folder and enter it.
5. Select everything in that folder, and create a zip file.
5. Rename the resultant zip file to something like
"MozillaScript.nvda-addon"
6. Install the addon.
Note: make sure you do not select the
"addon"
folder by itself; you need to be inside that folder when the zip file is created.

It calls itself an alert and I do get to it eventually by tabbing. Do you still think it is a dialogue?

There is no ok button in this dialog-like structure.  Settings take immediate effect.  This is a web page in the browser and since you are on a web page that mimics a dialog, do whatever you want to do that you would do while on a web page after you change the setting.  That is, go to another page by using a book mark, close the browser, etc.

Subject: [nvda] How to access Firefox notifications with NVDA

I am using the extended service release of Firefox on windows 10 machine with the stable release of NVDA. Sometimes Firefox will put up notices, such as when it offers to remember passwords or when it informs you that has blocked a redirection from the site. How can I access these in order to either tell it I don’t want it to save a password or that I do wanted to allow a redirection?

to save all that searching, just go to the address bar and type in about:preferences#security, this will take you straight to the security page.
if you want to go to the general page, it is about:preferences#general and if you want to go to the applications page, about:preferences#applications.  I think you can understand where this is going, if you want to go anywhere on that page, you type about:# and then the name of the section.  once you have landed there, you can do what you have to do.

hope that this helps.
Re: How does NVDA read text boxes?

Martin O'Sullivan
 


here is one way of doing it.

This works because,once you are in a text box (or picture or other object) you can press TAB to move between them. 

here is what you need to do.
1 Save the document, to keep any changes you want to keep .
2 Add a text box into a document by pressing alt+n, x, enter
3 Press escape once (so you are out of the text itself but the text box is still selected),
4 You can press TAB to move between the objects in the document (this wraps so if you press TAB on the last object in the document it will jump back to the first object). 
5 Remove the text box you just added, by exiting the document without saving changes.

Text boxes are difficult for a screen reader to access.

My old dell has fans but its not the drive that seems to generate the heat its the processor itself. You can tell as when its working hard on things but not using the disc much the fan starts to speed up and the bottom gets hot. That is a Dell inspiron running xp, though it is supposed to be able to run 7, but have not bothered.

Hi guys!
My HP Stream 11 has a SSD drive, and no fan. I have nothing to hear what so ever. It makes it interesting, because sometimes, it locks, and I can’t tell if it is still on or has it totally turned off LOL! Sometimes, it comes down to holding down the power button a few seconds and then I know I have shut it down. Then, I just tap the power button, and it turns on. Now, when you start the computer, you can turn on Narrator quickly, and it will take you through the start up before JAWS or NVDA starts talking LOL!
It has been an adventure, but this baby only weighs 2 and a half pounds, and has a 128 Gig SSD Drive, and four Gigs of ram. This thing never gets hot, so it does not need a fan LOL!

Yes I notice this on my machine with an ssd, a desktop though.
Tell me I assume this machine has no numeric keypad then. I'd rather like one as my older fingers are not as nimble aas they used to be.
Also did you have to deactivate the function keys from being special laptop control keys?
If one can get that in the same way but with 8 gigs of ram it would probably do me, but the lack of a back up drive might be an issue.the one in this desktop is 250 ssd, and I also have a 1tb one for back ups and non urgent files. Its amazing how you notice the speed difference when getting stuff from the old mechanical drive compared to the ssd.
I've had this since 2015, and touch wood nothing has gone wrong. However I am keeping windows 7 for ease of use reasons.

Re: Bringing the review cursor to the focused cursor?

Gene
 

I don't know if NVDA ever specifically supported Udora, but it works with programs that follow standard Windows conventions.  It might not work because there is something in Udora's code that causes the review mode not to be aware of the cursor or the object. 
 
What are you doing that you want to move back to the current position?  There may be other ways to do what you want.

Re: How to access Firefox notifications with NVDA

The question says:
Next I tried changing the file extension from .zip to .nvda-addon. When I hit enter on it to install I get an error saying it is missing a file or is in the wrong format.
 
Where was the file downloaded from, the Drop Box account or the web page that was given later? 
 
When something may be corrupted in a download and there is no error message, the first thing that should always be done is to download it again.  Downloads at times aren't correct and there are no error messages.  If the file still can't be run after a second download, maybe others will have more suggestions.

Hello Gene,

I like the bookmark idea and will probably go with that.

To answer some of your questions:

It seems to be a series of buttons, I think 3 in total. I have only ever heard the last two which say something along the lines of "open login page" and "close this message," respectively.

Using brows mode to navigate by buttons doesn't work as these buttons seem to not be in the main document. It was one of the first strategies I tried.

For now, I think the bookmark option is the simplest solution.

I doubt it.  When a dialog opens on a web page, NVDA says the word "dialog."  Have you gotten to the alert message or heard its entire text?  On the new page you open, what is this option; is it a link?  Instead of tabbing until you get to it on the new page, use the screen-reader search function and search from the top of the page for the word "open."  See if you can find whatever it is on the page.  If you can't find it, I may find something in firefox that makes finding the alert easier.

Really the actual document has to have been made interactive in the first place for this to work. The supplier has probably just sent a pdf for sighted people to print out and fill in.
You can either ask them to rectify this either by an on line html form or supply you with a document you can edit.
I've seen this so many times from companies who really should know better.
I guess you might be able to extract the text and then reformat it into a text document, but why should you have to do their work for them?

Subject: [nvda] filling out forms with adobe reader and nvda


Hello all,


I was wondering if there is a way to fill out forms in adobe reader. These forms don't actually have any clear indications of checkboxes or anything like that that. This form just has ___ where you are supposed to put your information.

Any help would be wonderful

I gave a very full reply on this list asking for more details about the system in use and somebody else gave some advice too. If you cannot see the messages or did not get them, then look at the online archive for the list, they are bound to be there. i don't want to clutter the list up with repeats.

Evening guys

I am Marisane from SA.

I recently posted to you about nvda 2017.3 unresponsiveness, but none
of you came to my rescue.

Nvda goes unresponsive everytime I run more than one applications.

It also goes unresponsive when I am working on he internet.

I use nvda 2017.3 and win10.

My win10 is : Windows 10Ver1703 (64-bit) build 15063.726.

On other occasions, I use jaws16 but it does not go unresponsive when
I run multiple applications or am working on the internet.

What is wrong with nvda? Why so unresponsive in win10?

May I also understand about win10 fall creators? What is that?

Sorry for being without this knowledge about win10.

I am, of course, not technical.

Please help.

Kind regards
Marisane
