Re: Updated Firefox to version 89, can no longer use w/NVDA
The episode raises questions. Are there blind people beta testing and if so, how many are there? The number appears to be inadequate since this problem should have been found long before release.

That may be, I haven’t checked but you don’t have to accept updates so it is just as effective as turning them off.
When you get the message you may issue the command alt n. And you don’t

The setting is part of the general section, so it should be reachable without any extra steps.
I agree that these changes sometimes seem unnecessarily, but to be fair: Firefox has now been like this

You can control updates. You may have to turn browse mode off to see the part of the options or settings dialog where you select the category you will work with.
Previously, the update selection

That's not accurate, Chris. There are options in Firefox to choose
when to install updates.

So, how long before we all get v.89 unless we take steps not to update. Don't want to be caught unawares before this happens.

Re: Updated Firefox to version 89, can no longer use w/NVDA
The other person who reported the probloem said she couldn’t use Narrator with Firefox either. Whatever the problem is, it isn’t an NVDA problem.
it isn’t a good idea to use old browsers.

Thanks for the heads up. I was going to try it myself. I was going to try it later after I come back from being out. I am not going to waist my time on it.
