Alas, disabling that junk settings thing didn't help. Yes, I did restart the program after making the change. It is driving me nuts! Mary

The developers of Firefox and Thunderbird have intentionally made their programs accessible. Part of doing so on an ongoing basis is to take the affirmative action of recruiting blind people to test

You would expect interested blind users to receive alpha and beta releases and send comments. And if there aren’t, Mozilla should recruit testers. It is just plain bad procedure not to have

I don't use a braille display, and You I think said you did this but what happens if you use insert f12, f12, then look at your display. Does the date show then? Sorry if I seem stupid, but I am in

And, again, so? This gives you instant feedback that the developers of this product care not one whit about accessibility. That, in and of itself, tells you to abandon hope and seek an

Yes. This would work. But I want the same, convenient way of reading the date without leaving the application I am working in, but from my Braille keyboard. If I use Windows+b, I am taken out of

Gene, do you honestly think that there were many, if any, based on what has been seen here and on other screen reader and associated technology groups? My point, which seems to have eluded you, is

hi: i just turned off the status bar and the issue is gone. made me happy. thanks

Marry, I just ran into this same problem.  Try this.  Go the view menu and right error to the toolbars and enter on status bar to hide it and this should saulve your problem.

Why on earth do that when it has already been reported here that simply turning off the Status Bar virtually (perhaps completely) eliminates the issue? All it takes to try that out is hitting ALT+V,

And even if virtually all of the sighted developers actually have been trained extensively, or have long experience with, developing accessibility features there will always be the newbie who could
