Google Searches
Ralph Boersema
Dear Friends,
I wonder if someone can tell me what is happening with my Google searches and what I need to change. I use Windows 10 and Firefox. Since last night, whenever I do a Google search and click on a result to go to that web page, I get another Google search page instead and with every follow-up click I get another Google page.
Warmly, Ralph

Re: Selecting text in notepad

Hello Quentin
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
I did a little more testing and, as you suggested, the problem is when more than 512 characters are selected. This can only happen in Notepad when word wrap is unchecked as then you can have a whole paragraph appearing as a single line of unwrapped text. If you check the word wrap option in notepad, the problem goes away. --Sile

Re: NVDA at logon
Luke Davis
A question on this topic:
In Older days (Vista and possibly Win 7), if NVDA was not set to run on the logon screen, it would also not read UAC dialogs or applications that ran under elevated privileges. Unless that was just a fluke of my machines. Anyway, I just tested under Win 10, and found this no longer to be the case. If I remove NVDA from the logon screen, reboot and log in, it will still read UAC screens, although it does so with the saved configuration that was in effect for the "use on logon and other secure screens", as I can determine from the differing speech rate and volume. I had thought (but never had it confirmed), that in order to run on the logon and other secure screens, a separate instance of NVDA had to run. If that is the case, then the behavior I experienced in Vista seems reasonable. However if that's the case, how is it running now that I have removed NVDA from the logon screen, presumably disabling the ability for that instance to run with administrative privileges? Not that I'm complaining, but I am curious. I ask because this might in some way be related to the original question about NVDA failing to stop running on the logon screen. Then again, i could be totally off base about how this works, and it may not be related in the slightest. I also wonder if you have tried enabling it to run on the logon screen, rebooting, and then disabling it again. Luke

Re: Weather Plus 5.0 update available
Adriano Barbieri
Hi, Just out of curiosity, you can send the log, even if this version that uses Apixu has momentarily abandoned. Thanks
Regards adriano
You can wait for the new version 6.0 that will return to using the Yahoo weather API.

Re: whats the best version of firefox for using with old systems?
Brian's Mail list account <bglists@...>
Well if its AMD, myself I use 45, the big problem nowadays is that many web sites do not like these versions, just in the same way as they do not like IE8. I get a banner saying sorry, update your browser goodbye!
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
I am not aware if this is merely sites detecting the browser version, or whether if the browser version presented to the site was spoofed if the site might then work. If anyone knows any hacks to make Firefox older versions pretend to be newer, then its probably off topic here, but maybe post a link to a place where they can be found, at the users risk of course. The thing is there will always be those who just are unable to update their machines either due to poverty or political embargoes etc, so there is always going to be the need for such work arounds like Tor browser for example and its a real shame those making that have messed up accessibility in their recent updates.

Also could try copy saved settings to login and other secure screens option see if that fixes the problem if it is actually nvda starting and not another screen reader

Not sure, if you had it set to start at log on, once, then it can be a real pain to stop it. Does anyone know if this is in fact possible? What I see is that when it has been set to log in with a password prompt in windows , then the nnvda settings get used but when its fully loaded the screenreader is not actually running normally it still needs a manual start. This implies that there is, somewhere in the early start up sequence, a stub loader that gives rudimentary screenreading before the rest of windows loads up.
I'm guessing this may be some throw back to a time when nvda was not uninstalled completely and has only been seen now due to some change in the settings in windows starting up and nvda starting up. Might be worth a look in Microsoft's autorun tool to see if you can see a key somewhere where its running something from nvda, and removing it manually. I had a similar issue with Dolphin some years ago. Brian

Re: NVDA in pithon three?
Brian's Mail list account <bglists@...>
So I do hope that for quite a while the old and new versions will run at once so people can test them to see where the more esoteric problems lie. For example in add ons like the 3d sound hat I and others use a lot. I do not think any support of apps should be dropped even if they are supposedly very old as there will be those who rely on them and having to switch to a portable old version of nvda to use such software is a retrograde step
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
I think, generally, blind folk are going to be users of old software much longer than the sighted, even doing work around to make older versions work as had been mentioned elsewhere, since the new versions are seen as poorer access or usability wise. Just saying. Brian bglists@blueyonder.co.uk Sent via blueyonder. Please address personal E-mail to:- briang1@blueyonder.co.uk, putting 'Brian Gaff' in the display name field.

Re: GoldWave

Did you see my comments. I use goldwave daily and the add on still works fine, but I am one version below yours as I found the latest 32 bit version had sound card issues. This might well be the answer but Joseph etc, might be able to shed more light on it. Its hard when you cannot see the issue.

There does seem to be times when it says x chars even on one line, but I am not totally sure why. My suspicion is that there may well be hidden characters in the file pushing up the number.

whats the best version of firefox for using with old systems?
hi every one.
i used firefox 52.9 and tor version 7.5.6 which is based on this version of firefox also. however, i remembered that brian always mentioned that firefox 52 is not very fast with windows xp and old processors. can you please tell me between firefox 45.9 and 48, which one is better? i am not satisfied with newer versions of firefox and toor, because of overheating my laptop, unresponsiveness and slowness of nvda and brows mode not working. i appreciate any help, God bless you all! -- By God, were I given all the seven heavens with all they contain in order that I may disobey God by depriving an ant from the husk of a grain of barley, I would not do it. imam ali
