Subject: [nvda] Firefox auto update

I notice in programs and features there is a entry for Mozilla update service. If I remove this program does it stop automatic updates of Firefox and Thunderbird?

Hi Allie,


Since they are using windows 7, have them check out the Blind Software
Planner program. I actually tested it out on a machine recently and It
works with NVDA.  Hope this helps.

Hello list,

A friend is asking me what is teh most accessible calendar to use with
NVDA and Windows7.

I use no calendars, and have Windows10, so I can be of no help.

Would anyone have suggestions, please?

Thanks in advance.
Ciao,
Ollie

Hi,

As for that, it is due to the fact that Firefox is using multiple processes for accessibility routines, which impacts NVDA.

Cheers,

Joseph

Hi gene

 

I downloaded the 57 beta a little while ago and found the setting he was talking about. Mine was already unchecked. I downloaded the beta of 57 and i am just looking around now.

 

The menus are been spoken. The quick navigation keys seem to be working etc.

 

There is a little lag some times when you go to the menus and or left or right arrow. I was just having a look in the options section it looks like only 4 tabs now

 

I have read a couple of articles so far from our stuff website and gone back and forth between pages.

 

as mentioned there is a little lag at times seems no worser than 56 actually at a few times seemed quicker.

 

Now and again you have to refresh the page as like the page does not load and using the f5 key lets it load.

Hi all,

Well, the tests ended so fast…

 

The following is a community-based advisory that is mandatory for you all to listen up and follow:

 

If Firefox 57 is set to prevent accessibility services, you won’t be able to use Firefox at all. The following NVDA features will fail:

 

• Browse mode and focus mode
• Web browser features such as elements list and first letter navigation commands
• Object navigation and review modes
• OCR functionality

 

ADVISORY: when Firefox 57 lands, DO NOT check “prevent accessibility services” checkbox in Firefox options. By default, this checkbox is unchecked.

 

Technical: NVDA uses mixture of code injection and accessibility API routines to access Firefox. However, when accessibility services are turned off, Firefox enters a mode where the UI and browse mode functionality will not work with screen readers. This means no announcements regarding menu bar, no toolbar navigation feedback, no feedback when you type into address bar, no browse mode and so on. The only way to restore it so far is disabling the checkbox described above until NVDA finds a way to interact with Firefox Quantum.

 

Cheers,

Joseph

Hi

I thought that was only for jaws users? as where the message came into my inbox referred to it.

That was why i was asking the question. I just downloaded the beta version on this machine but is a quad core and will also try it on a duel core to see how well or not nvda goes with it. I am guessing our developers might be ahead with the work on it.

I will also sus out the link as well.

There will be problems using ScreenReders with the Firefox Quantum due to be released on November 14th.  It is advised that the ESR version of Firefox should be installed and your current personal Firefox version be uninstalled to prevent it from automatically updating to the latest but broken Firefox Quantum, as far as ScreenReader usability goes.  Go here to download FireFox ESR to maintain ScreenReader usability as this version won't be updated until June of next year, by which time, it is hoped that the personal edition of Firefox and ScreenReader usability will be resolved.

Is there anything in Windows 10 you want?

Hi guys

I just had a email off another list to do with another screen reader to do with the new fire fox coming out next month the one stated in the subject line. Are we alright to go with it as of yet? or will we be aright with it in the next release of NVDA 2017.4 or the version after that.

I have not got that version on this system so do not know how well it works with it. From what i have been reading is more to do with multii thread machines.

And older machines will slow the right down as in searching for pages etc.

It looks also the free upgrade to windows 10 from 7,8 and 8.1 ends at the end of this year.

So if you are able to upgrade from those operating system either upgrade or after that date if you want to go to windows 10 you will have to pay.

There is also some other accessibility stuff that might be of interest to windows 10 creator update. For more info see the following link at https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/accessibility/2017/10/17/windows-10-accessibility-update/

Once i know also about the new browser and when we are able to go i will put it back across the list in atig in new zealand.

Surely then this will still be the case for the sighted as well, so what is
the point in changing it?
I do not want to lose Firefox, IE is rubbish as its not being updated.
 As long as somebody keeps Firefox 55 up to date then I have a very good
feeling that a lot of people out there will want to keep it.

Well when I asked over a month back nobody knew what I was talking about, so
I'm staying on 455 till I see which way the wind blows. Unless otherwise
persuaded even though I have a 64 bit machine I have in the past been burned
by the 64 bit version of FF, so I am using the 32 bit one very reliably,
until they brought out 56, when I had to disable the sidebar to get focus on
the page all the time. I reported this bug but they did not fix it in 56,
instead fixing it in the 57 pre release versions which I've not tried.
 For those who do know what is going on, a little bit more info here would
be nice, like can we be sure if we download 57, that we can keep it 32 bi5t
and that the weird bugs with some web controls will be fixed,  and vital add
ons like system sounds and ad blockers will still work.

I created rules for all the lists that I'm on.

What do you mean some other messages from other lists.  If your rule only applies to messages with one list name, then no other messages will be affected.  You need to make a separate rule for every list.

Subject: Re: [nvda] Using Thunderbird filters

Hi, Robert,

I already did all that. Some other messages from the other lists are still going into the inbox. I don't know what else to do.

Also, make sure you uncheck the filter by manually so that it will run automatically into your corresponding filtered of your choice.

Hi, John,


Let's say you want to run a filter on a message that comes into the inbox. I've pretty muchcreated the filters but there are messages till coming into the inbox from other lists. How do you run a filter on a message?


Thanks.

4. For the next two combo boxes, it will probably be easiest to hit alt-down arrow and expand them. Just pick whatever you like, I move mine to a folder called nvda that I made.


5. To make a folder, just pick folder from the new menu in the file menu, do that before you do a filter if you want to move stuff, because the folder has to exist for you to pick it. If you want the folder in the main account, i.e. another folder like inbox, before you make the folder, highlight your account name with the arrows. If you want everything under your inbox, so you have to hit right arrow to expand folders, highlight your inbox. The difference is that if you highlight the account, you can down arrow, so you'll get inbox, your folder, sent, trash, whatever. If you do it highlighting the inbox, inbox usually starts collapsed and you have to hit right arrow to expand it, then you hit down arrow to get to those folders, you'll go through whatever you made, then you'll get back to sent, trash, whatever.


If that's confusing somehow, feel free to ask questions.

Hi, John,


How do you create filters in thunderbird or do you just delete them after reading or replying to them? Outlook is ok but It's a bit clunky.

Hi, Ron,

I did all those steps and I still can't get messages moved to their proper folders. I've hit enter on all the folders but I'm still having some messages from other lists go to my inbox instead of their proper folders. Why isn't this working for me? In outlook, you just hit the context key and arrow down to "always move messages from" and then the name of the messages.

Hi Group,

Assuming that you have attempted to create the filters by clicking tools/filters/new, be advised that the select a folder aspect is a bit kinky with screen readers.  You must treat that list box like a combo box using alt + down arrow to open the folder list and once selecting the right folder to filter messages into, press either enter or alt + up arrow to close the box and select the folder.

Everyone who is new to Thunderbird (including me) seems to run across this and it is temporarily confusing until you figure out what is going on.

HI, Rosemary

Under the Tool in the main menu select Message Filters. Then, you will prompted of the list of filtered folders you've created. You need to double check and uncheck the Manual Run.

Hello list,

A friend is asking me what is teh most accessible calendar to use with

I use no calendars, and have Windows10, so I can be of no help.

Would anyone have suggestions, please?

Thanks in advance.

Hi All,

 

I am using the latest windows and nvda.  For some reason I am hearing the words heading level when I go to some lines.  What setting do I need to change to stop this from happening?  Thanks for any help.Regards, Gary kn4ox

Nothing that I know of.

It is happening to all users, it started after the september update, defender shows nothing, the user doesn't brouse malicious sites usually sometimes he screws up and I have to help him but the system is primarily used for office type applications with some brousing and thats it.

He has been away during this period and all I have done is some brousing, updates, etc, I clear my junk after I am done and usually use my own system unless updating it.

So it aint me.

Subject: [nvda] outlook 2016 possible issue

Hi.

The main workstation here uses outlook 2016 as its email client.

The main user was away for a couple months and I kept the system
updated.

While there is no issue per say with day to day use of the system,
outlook is now sending the mails all attachments in them at any rate
to everyone as winmail.dat files.

At first I was like well what the heck?

pdfs, documents, etc all in winmail.dat.

I finally decided to get with thunderbird a extention called lookout
fixed which is supposed to pull these things to bits.

In the winmail.dat I found a jpg, a rtf rich text file and another
dat file.

All the documents appear to be empty as far as I can tell.

The user got back in october, there were 2 updates for office one in
september, and one in october.

Tried changing formats to text, but nothing worked.

The format was set to html which means the thing was set correctly in
the first place.

My next plan is to clear the caches of outlook and as it seems to
have happened before the big win10 update my next plan is to do a
quick office repair just in case but am I even doing the right thing?

Everything points at an exchange server which the system has never
accessed in its life its all google cloud mail

Every other system is on thunderbird or directly locked to the cloud
but this is a business box and its never had any issue.

The user has put a request in to get the system and associated hard
drives reformatted.

While this can be done being that this is a 1 time use business
system, office will then become totaly alegal and I will need to go
through hoops to reset the licence.

While that in itself is not the issue I do wander if there is
actually a bug and plan to ring ms about it, as the user didn't have
the issue before.

The format settings have not been touched and bar office and other
system updates bar checking and reading email the system has never
been tampered with by me.

In addition mails are coming to the user fine and he is sending
attachmentless emails and others are recieving them fine.

Has anyone had this issue before, is this a bug, or should I just
reformat and hope the issue goes away.

But if its a bug its not likely to budge they usually don't.
