NVEDA sort of half locking up when working with firefox Jacob Kruger #4767 Had firefox 43 here, since before new version of webvisum, you couldn't install un-signed add-ons, but, also now just upgraded firefox to 46, and this was since NVDA 2016.1 and 2016.2 RC1 both seemed to be locking up at times, while working in firefox, with various sites' content. Have also tried turning off/on the F123 add-on, in case it and NVDA wre interfering with each other, but, doesn't seem to make a difference. Could also maybe try uninstalling both F123 and webvisum add-ons, in case, their form of interaction, etc. might be causing hassles, but, thought might as well ask here if anyone has ideas on what to try? And, when I say locking up, at times, it won't help alt-tabbing away from firefox to another app, since NVDA will stay quiet, but, funny enough what seems to help the quickest is to launch narrator, using windows key + enter key, since this is on my windows 10 64 bit machine. Do you think there might be something useful in the NVDA log - NVDA + F1 right after NVDA starts speaking again? Alternatively, any other thoughts/suggestions on what to try get rid of this - besides browsing web content often enough, my primary job is as a web developer, so I have to spend a lot of time testing/trying out various bits of my own code output in a browser, and firefox is my favourite for that part of it thus far, although I do, at times use both google chrome and IE11 - that one crashes on it's own way too often to be any form of feasible alternative, but, that's probably due to it not really being meant to be used under windows 10 as such?

Re: NVDA keeps announcing "Pane"! Brian's Mail list account #4766 Sometimes this can be due to some invisible window being present. I used to get this a lot with a particular anti virus product which I don't think is still made. It hadd some kind of proxy server sitting over the program and the internet connection and when it put messages up, it left an apparently open full screen window behind. Mouse users never saw it of course as if you click the item it goes through, but with a screenreader you find that this is not possible of course. Maybe the spam program you are using?? I've never tried it. However sometimes some browsers can end up with the current window not detected which gives the same error, indeed, Outlook express can do this when you switch identities, but in this case you cannot get focus back without restarting Outlook Express. This program issue when used with nvda has been around for years but is so unpredictable its hard to troubleshoot, and may not be fixable. Brian bglists@... Sent via blueyonder.

Re: NVDA and Amazon Gene #4763 Also, if you haven't done so, trying Firefox on many sites you use might produce surprising results. You might find that Firefox is faster on enough sites that you might want to use it as your main browser. I'm not saying you will. But I'm saying that you may and that that was my experience. Also, Firefox has more plugins and one or two features you may value once you try them such as the document reader feature in the view menu. When you are on a page that contains an article, you will find article view in the view menu. Press enter on it and see what happens. You will automatically leave article view, as I recall, when you open another page. It eliminates a great deal of extraneous text on pages with articles.

Re: terminal software with NVDA jeremy <icu8it2@...> #4760 In my experience, Teraterm has been working the best for me and that's not always perfect. This is when using something like VI in OpenWRT, for example, which for the most part, lets me move about through the files good enough to edit them. Something that works much better though is to use WinSCP to get access to your server and use notepad to make your changes. It also makes moving around through the directory structure much quicker, that's if you don't wish to do things through the terminal. I know at one time, NVDA had gotten worse when trying to use applications like Teraterm, but as a few months ago, it was working okay for me. Take care. toggle quoted message Show quoted text On 5/28/2016 7:49 PM, Jason Fayre wrote: Hello everyone, I'm wondering what terminal software people are using with nvda?

Re: Web Browsers' Security And Compatibility With NVDA Brian Vogel #4754 Just to emphasize what's already been said, IE11 is not any more prone to security issues (in the big picture) than any other contemporary browser is. IE11 is shipped with Windows 10, though Microsoft doesn't do anything to make that apparent, and is being maintained and will continue to be so at least until MS-Edge comes somewhere close to having the feature set that all contemporary browsers do (and it's not anywhere close at the moment). You could always try Chrome if you wish as well. There are lots of folks who now do. It really drives me crazy when help desks "suggest" that people use the familiar because it is familiar to them rather than figure out what's actually going wrong and fixing it. I don't mind this sort of suggestion as a stopgap measure, but if something isn't working with IE11, Chrome, and Firefox (at a minimum) these days then it's not coded correctly. -- *Brian* I worry a lot. . .

Re: Web Browsers' Security And Compatibility With NVDA Quentin Christensen #4753 Hi Jolene, That original article you referred to is aimed a bit of scaremongering for article views, inside though, it does actually say: "Users should upgrade to the latest version of Internet Explorer to ensure they are always up-to-date with the latest security patches and updates. ... "Internet Explorer 11 is the last version of Internet Explorer, and will continue to receive security updates, compatibility fixes, and technical support on Windows 7, Windows 8.1, and Windows 10."" So Internet explorer IS still supported, but you have to be using the latest version of IE available for your platform. In terms of Edge, Microsoft are working on accessibility but we would still recommend using an alternate browser for the time being. NVDA's support for Chrome has improved so this is now also an alternative. For a main browser, I still use Firefox, but it's worth having a couple available as you have found some web pages work better with one browser over another. If your uni recommends using IE then it may be that you will get the best experience on their site with that browser and as long as you are up to date with patches etc, you should be safe to keep using that. Kind regards Quentin. toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Tue, May 31, 2016 at 11:26 AM, Jolene Cardenas <joe.haiku@...> wrote: Hello everyone, Since I'm a Hadley School For The Blind student, taking online courses for my Adult Continuing Education degree, I totally depend on NVDA to work with my Web browser in order to complete schoolwork successfully.

Re: Web Browsers' Security And Compatibility With NVDA Gene #4752 If you use Internet Explorer only on the Hadley site, you won't have a meaningful increase in risk. The Hadley site, as any site, could be hacked but it's very unlikely. And in addition, I haven't seen anything about the kind of high security risks with IE11 I saw last year. Evidently, they were corrected in patches and the level of risk, though it may be higher than Firefox, is evidently much lower than at the high points last year. I'm not making a judgment about which browser is safer over time or over all. I'm saying that if Firefox is safer and if you only use Internet Explorer on that one site, your risk hardly increases. Also, what version of Internet Explorer are you using? Such articles as you cite dealt with the end of support for versions of Internet Explorer lower than version 11. If you are using IE11, those articles don't apply to you. If you are using a lower version, why?

Although I had used IE for as long as I can remember, I had stopped using it because of this article (among many others): Millions of Windows users to face MAJOR security issues within weeks http://www.express.co.uk/life-style/science-technology/624760/Windows-Microsoft-Internet-Explorer-End-Support-Web-Browser Then when I got my new Asus laptop in February which runs Windows 10, I read an article that said that NVDA wasn't compatible with Microsoft Edge (See below for the link). NVDA and Windows 10 http://www.nvaccess.org/win10/ Unsure which browser I should use then, I immediately returned to using Firefox and attempted to submit a homework assignment to Hadley through its usage, only to run in to the same technical difficulties with assignment submission again! Undoubtedly, the school's Tech Support will urge me to switch back to using IE again, but I admit I'm afraid to because of what I had read in the above article about this browser. I'm also fully aware that if I was to chat with somebody at Microsoft's Disability Answer Desk at: https://login.live.com/login.srf?wa=wsignin1.0&rpsnv=12&ct=1436994582&rver=6.5.6509.0&wp=mbi_ssl&wreply=https%3a%2f%2fpartner.support.services.microsoft.com%2fen-us%2fpartners%2fdad&lc=1033&id=293453&pcexp=false they would try to push me to use Edge as my browser in spite of its incompatibility with NVDA. This situation's so frustrating for me, because I so badly want to submit my coursework ASAP! Can anyone using Windows 10 and NVDA please recommend a browser to me? Thank you so much, for you have no idea how much I would appreciate your recommendation! aloha, Jolene.

Web Browsers' Security And Compatibility With NVDA Jolene Cardenas #4751 Hello everyone, Since I'm a Hadley School For The Blind student, taking online courses for my Adult Continuing Education degree, I totally depend on NVDA to work with my Web browser in order to complete schoolwork successfully. However, on several occasions in late 2015, I ran in to technical difficulties with assignment submission for one of my online classes because of Firefox incompatibility issues on the school's assignment submission webpage.

Re: Virtual Recorder Gene #4750 it isn't clear what you did. Did you only record using a microphone? Many laptops have monaural microphone recording jacks. If you recorded something like an Internet Stream you hear in stereo, you should get a stereo recording. Your sound card may only record a microphone monaurally and purchasing microphones alone may not solve the problem because there is a good chance the jack you plug the microphone into now is a monaural jack. You may well have to purchase an external USB sound card and make sure it has a stereo microphone jack.

I'm beginning to think that perhaps some brands of laptop are built for stereo recording, while others aren't. I could be wrong, though. Perhaps I should try Berhinger out to see if it would do for me what Virtual Recorder won't do. And Gene, I tried recording sound with Virtual Recorder in both stereo and mono formats, and both recordings came out in mono. Sounds to me like I may have to invest in a pair of microphones in order to record sound in stereo! Thanks so much for your feedback, though. aloha, Jolene.
