Re: FireFox Update Download Problems Cont

I do not use webmail but those who do tell me a lot of these issues have not been seen in the 64 bit version of Firefox latest builds.

Also if you want a more secure browser then get waterfox. It seems to be being updated but is based on the old rendering engine of mozilla. Brian bglists@blueyonder.co.uk Sent via blueyonder.

You can use the version you are using now for e-mail and you can use the current version, run as a portable version for general browsing. I haven't had problems with the current version of Firefox as far as accessibility is concerned. I assume you know that older versions of browsers are more vulnerable to security exploits that allow malicious sites to download malware and do other things to compromise your machine and steal personal information. That's why I am advising that you use a portable current version for general browsing and the 52.x version for e-mail. You don't need to join another group to do this. Many people on the list use portable Firefox and can give you information. I'm not saying you shouldn't join the group you are discussing, there's nothing wrong with having more resources if you want them, I'm saying for what I am discussing, you can get all the information you need here.

I don't know a lot about configuring computers to work in the manner to which I am accustom.

Please though if you are a 64 bit person force the 64 bit version of Firefox, its far better and more reliable in my opinion.

Re: Changing to G-Chrome? Continued
Brian's Mail list account <bglists@...>
Yes I get annoyed by companies and organisations who seen me hidden links where the text merely says here as the link. I often need to make a script to be read out of the text in these emails which means I need to go to every link and cut and paste the address bar as well as the actual text into my document to be read. If you look at these emails in plain text often the link is not as the web site shows it, but is a huge tracking link hidden behind the text as the sender is trying to get metrics from the user as to what is the most popular areas of the web sit.

In the compose window they will not be presented to you, the composer, as links. Once the message is sent, and you're viewing it in the sent folder, they will (as they will for the receiver). Copy http://www.washingtonpost.com in its entirety, from the H in http to the m in com, then paste it when composing. You'll have a link. Then afterward type out what comes after the http:// by hand. In the compose window you'll have plain text for the second. But once sent both will show up as links once "linkification" has been done on the second one by Gmail or an e-mail client. If you copy and paste in a full hyperlink it will read as "link". There's a difference between text that can be linkified and an actual link itself. It's worked this way for as long as I can remember, and there was a time where "linkification" did not occur.

Re: Changing from FireFox to G-Chrome Continued
Brian's Mail list account <bglists@...>
They are and were mostly due to the new interface. However I still find them in 32 bit versions of Firefox, ie weird no sign of browse mode detection and much more, but when I went to the full 64 bit versions then things are a lot better. My main suspicion is a timing issue on the slower 32 built code that makes nvda not see things it should b. Its hard to pin down as its so hit and miss, but certainly the 64 bit one does not seem to have the problem.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
People with more brain cells than I will probably explain it! However I do not use facebook and to my mind many many people complain about weird page design causing strange things to happen. If in the main hyperlinks work, often you can put the problems down to the web site itself. its very easy to make links look like links, but not work on a web site so maybe its intentional.

You may find if it says nothing, than speak passwords won't operate, or to be more accurate, the echo back might not actually be what you put in at your end.

Well, I guess it does depend on what data is in the account. I can see that some accounts, say one I use on the BBC has no personal data in it, it is merely forced on us so the BBC can see what is being watched, and probably in the future check if we have paid the licence.

If anyone has a reasonable smart phone, I have to say I was quite impressed with how well some of them can to OCR on documents and books held above them by hand. There is also a little holder made of plastic for many phones with the silly name of the Giraffe, which effectively turns it into a rostrum camera much like the original product the person here had.

Now of course getting the result of the ocr over to the computer is a whole other story, but I'd imagine with Dropbox on the phone and the pc, one could do it fairly easily assuming that this is accessible on both systems.

Dear Molly & List:
Kurzweil KK-1000 is still a current product. Version 14 is curr3ent.
Kurzweil flags doubtful characters with an at-sign by default. It is wise to turn this off or all you hear is every character on your page with an at-sign flag.
Have used both Open Book v 9 and Kurzweil v 114. They are roughly comparable as to accuracy & features.

There are flatbed scanners designed specifically for scanning books, called book scanners. I'm not sure how much they cost but they won't damage the spine of the book. You can use a flatbed scanner to scan books, whidch isn't a book scanner and it will work well if it’s a reasonable quality one and those are much cheaper. But you will damage the spines of books, they will become slanted and you may get less money when reselling books. I haven't looked at scanner brands and models for a long time so I won't say much about that. Epson was and I think still is, a popular scanner among blind people.

When you get to the Restore your computer to the state it was in before the selected event dialog, do you have the checkbox for Show more restore points checked?

Hi Eric, Is your client using any NVDA add-ons at the moment? If yes, it might be possible that a recent add-on update may have contributed to this problem.
