Hi


Grab a 64 bit version of fire fox it does not seem to crash on it only
the 32 bit version.


I downloaded a portable version  which had the 32 bit and 64 bit version
of fire fox to see if i had the same problem.


Are you using a 64 bit operating system and if so is it windows 10? 8 or 7?

If so grab the 64 bit version of fire fox but if you are using a 32 bit
version of windows and the 32 bit fire fox browser crashes i guess there
would be more reports.

Hi,
I wake up today and restart the computer, the problem is still here.

Ahra,

It appears that most of the people having problems with NVDA and
newer Firefox versions are running a 32bit version of Firefox. So,
you do fit in that category. However, I don't believe you mentioned
the version of Windows you are running and that can make a
significant difference.  Please also let us know if Windows is 32 bit
or 64 bit.

Thanks,

Jonathan Cohn

Yes I have to say this is a cleaner faster browser altogether from the 64 bit standpoint but anyone running 32 bit windows cannot use it, as its been optimised for the 64 bit system and that may well be why its snappier generally. They say they are inheriting all the classic add ons so we assume from that that they have no intention of going Quantum,.

They are seemingly attacking any security issues through other means.

Hello everyone,

Further to my previous post, I noticed that Waterfox was recommended as an alternative browser to Mozilla Firefox.  I have installed Waterfox 56.2.3 and updated NVDA to 2018.3 and Waterfox works fine.  If anything, it loads faster than Firefox and takes me straight to Google, my preferred home page.

Best wishes,

So I was playing around with emojis, and I've noticed that some of them aren't read, and some of them are read twice. To reproduce, go into the emoji panel, I'm hitting Windows-; (semicolon) in case that matters, and tab to people. I land on "woman, 1 of 175". Arrowing right I hear "woman, man, 3 of 175, girl", and so on. Now arrow back to the left until you get to woman. Hit the down arrow, and you'll get "older woman". Keep arrowing right until you hear "12 of 175". If you arrow right two times, each time you hear "man with turban" and the rising tone of a question mark. I'm pretty sure that later in the list there are three of the same thing in a row at least.


I don't know where the emoji naming comes from, if they're specified in NVDA source or they're drawing on something internal to Windows or what, but I thought I'd mention it. Incidentally, Narrator reads this just fine, I think 3 of 175 is a girl, 12 is a prince, the two things that show up as "man with turban" are a woman and a man wearing a turban, respectively, and so on. Narrator's kind of slow, if I arrow too fast I get duplicated names instead of new ones, but I don't think that's what's going on with NVDA. My other question was whether NVDA reads emojis now, the answer is yes if you read by line but not by character apparently, because I just added and deleted some from this email. So that's that solved I guess.


Sorry I didn't point this out in the RC phase, things have been crazy around here and I didn't really get a chance to do much with them other than run them and see that they didn't break anything.

I'm unable to use Firefox 62 with JAWS without it hanging up/needing to be
closed with task manager, however so far it's working fine with NVDA 2018.2
(haven't gotten the upgrade yet).



As for Waterfox, there are some things I've always been unclear about.

What, if any, advantage does it really have over firefox?

And how do they handle security updates/bug-fixes? If the versions were
concurrent with Firefox at one time and they're now at 56, that means they
are lagging over a year behind the curve now.



Also, you can set your homepage with Firefox easily, so that it opens and
goes straight to google, or whatever page you choose.

Hi. You’re not the only one having this issue, I am having the same
problem as well. According to one of my friends, there is a way to do it
but apparently it’s very complicated. If this could be fixed, that would be
great.
Thanks.

Hi,


I also had major issues with the newest NVDA and Firefox.


I am running a 32 bit Firefox, latest version, on the 32 bit version of windows 10. Firefox crashes each time it's launched.


But, after reverting back to the previous version of NVDA, this never occurs, not once.

firefox crash with NVDA 2018.3
From: Clive Pallett
Date: Tue, 18 Sep 2018 18:55:52 EDT
Hello everyone,
I updated NVDA to 2018.3 and tried to launch firefox. The crash reporter screen came up and I tried to start a new session without result. I have reverted to NVDA 2018.1.1 and firefox loads normally. It also does when running NVDA 2018.2 which I was running before. I have the installation file of the former version on my laptop so used that. I noticed someone else having issues with firefox with NVDA 2018.3. Is this a problem with firefox or with NVDA?
I will continue with NVDA 2018.1.1 until I can download the latest version and hope the issue with firefox is sorted.
Best wishes,
Clive Pallett

Quentin, if you didn't see it, Ann just said that she was running 32-bit
Firefox on a 32-bit machine.

Seems that 32-bit Firefox is now having a negative effect on both 32-bit
and 64-bit machines with anything past NVDA 2018.2.1. I, who am on a
64-bit Firefox with a 64-bit Windows 10, am not having said problems.

Hi Ann,

As others have suggested, if you are using a 32-bit version of Firefox
on a 64-bit version of Windows, that could be the problem, in which
case the solution is to use the 64-bit version of Firefox.

The other thing is to make sure you have restarted the computer since
installing NVDA, as restarting fixes a lot of issues like this we see
when people have updated but not yet restarted.

Also, if you restart NVDA with add-ons disabled (NVDA+Q then down
arrow to that option and enter) it might indicate whether the issue is
in NVDA or an add-on. It is also worth checking to see if there are
new versions of any of your add-ons.

Finally, if you could send me a copy of your log, I can have a look
and try and ascertain what the issue is so we can fix it.

Kind regards

Quentin.

-Hi folks,


This is the first time I have been utterly disappointed with an NVDA
update. Is there a way to roll back an NVDA update to the earlier
version? I cannot use Firefox at all with the newest NVDA, and
this is
totally unacceptable. It won't even work with Internet Explorer. I
thought I Had an old version of the screen reader installed saved,
but
apparently not or I have lost it with my recent computer troubles.


In fact, if someone could send me the install file for 2018.2, I'd
appreciate it, since it appears I can no longer browse the
internet at
all. With neither of my browsers working with this new version, I
can't
even download chrome.


Thanks,

Joseph gave us a modification which I saved to Dropbox. Here it is: https://www.dropbox.com/s/3hk37slorff63rz/remote-2.1wxPy4.nvda-addon?dl=1

hello.
well, i already updated and i don't know where can i get the NVDA remote support for this version. i've heard that there is one around which is not on the NVDA remote website

Hi,

Correction: for SPL Studio, version should be 18.09.2-lts.

Cheers,

Hi all,

StationPlaylist Studio and Windows 10 App Essentials 18.09.2 is now available. Both versions come with mitigations for update channel selection:

• StationPlaylist Studio 18.09.9: this is the update channel locking update. If you are using 18.09.1 and prefer to stay on stable builds, please do NOT install 18.09.2, as the update channel will be switched to longterm after installing it.
• Windows 10 App Essentials: a bug regarding update checks reported by a user should be no more (more on that below).

Regarding Windows 10 App Essentials: the bug in question may have been caused by the fact that users might be running really old pilot snapshots (subsequently confirmed by me). I did say numerous times that update checks from old pilot builds will end in September, but apparently this warning was missed by a few. I’ll say it again (and one last time): no more pilot snapshot builds (unless things change later in future). Thus if you find that update check isn’t working for you from the add--on itself, check which add-on version you’ve got, and if you have a pilot snapshot, switch to stable channel for now.

Speaking of channels and update checks: the above notice does not apply if you are using Add-on Updater to check for Windows 10 App Essentials development snapshots. This capability will be extended to everyone on Thursday, including for those on stable channel.

Cheers,

Joseph
