Re: NVEDA sort of half locking up when working with firefox Shaun Everiss #4780 Yes, sometimes firefox just takes ages to load and sometimes if you load things up in quick succession it will crash and die. Other times it will just run. In between all this instability, it is actually still a stable product. Now if it goes really bad, I am not sure what I will do, its got a good extention security and other things in its favor and I really don't want to scrap it. toggle quoted messageShow quoted text On 31/05/2016 11:55 p.m., Jacob Kruger wrote: Had firefox 43 here, since before new version of webvisum, you couldn't install un-signed add-ons, but, also now just upgraded firefox to 46, and this was since NVDA 2016.1 and 2016.2 RC1 both seemed to be locking up at times, while working in firefox, with various sites' content.

Re: audacity Gene #4779 Yes but that is such a broad question that there is no way to give more than a general answer. I seldom use Audacity but, as with so many other programs, a lot of Audacity commands are program commands, not NVDA commands. If you know them, you can use Audacity. If you have specific questions about how to do specific things, asking them may yield answers. for example, if you want to kno how to read specific information on the screen, someone may be able to answer. It may involve using NVDA screen review commands.

Re: NVEDA sort of half locking up when working with firefox George <slr1bpz@...> #4777 I have the same issue on two machines running windows 7 home premium 64 bit and firefox 46.1.

Announcement: Free live tech support via Skype users group between June 13th and August 12th Joseph Lee #4776 Ladies and gentlemen, For years, this list and other forums have served as a great tech support venue for many. I’m sure many of us wanted to match the person and their voice at times, or wished you could have a tech support experience similar to other screen reader companies. That’s why I’m delighted to announce that, starting from June 13^{th and running for the next two months, I’ll be holding free, live tech support on NVDA and related topics via Skype users group (established about a month ago). Not only you’ll get a chance to talk to one or more NVDA developers (one of them actually living in America), you’ll also get a chance to receive hands-on training, participate in live feature demos, join the developer in his lab as he cooks up interesting features, and get a backstage tour of internals of various NVDA features. And the best thing is, it’s all free.} Important notes: · This will be done via NVDA users Skype group. · The developer will be in his office during weekdays (two or three times a week). · Tech support office hours will vary (aiming at between 11 AM to 3 PM Pacific (2 to 6 PM Eastern and elsewhere)), likely between 12 to 3 PM Pacific. · Tech support services will include answering questions, live demos, programming feature suggestions on the fly (if it is doable), and remote diagnostics and assistance via NVDA Remote Support add-on (user consent required). · Tech support hours will be posted on Twitter (for the most part). · If you don’t have Skype, the developer is willing to meet you via TeamTalk. Thank you. Cheers, joseph

You might find that Firefox is faster on enough sites that you might want to use it as your main browser. I'm not saying you will. But I'm saying that you may and that that was my experience. Also, Firefox has more plugins and one or two features you may value once you try them such as the document reader feature in the view menu. When you are on a page that contains an article, you will find article view in the view menu. Press enter on it and see what happens. You will automatically leave article view, as I recall, when you open another page. It eliminates a great deal of extraneous text on pages with articles.

Re: NVDA keeps announcing "Pane"! Brian's Mail list account BY <bglists@...> #4766 Sometimes this can be due to some invisible window being present. I used to get this a lot with a particular anti virus product which I don't think is still made. It hadd some kind of proxy server sitting over the program and the internet connection and when it put messages up, it left an apparently open full screen window behind. Mouse users never saw it of course as if you click the item it goes through, but with a screenreader you find that this is not possible of course. Maybe the spam program you are using?? I've never tried it. However sometimes some browsers can end up with the current window not detected which gives the same error, indeed, Outlook express can do this when you switch identities, but in this case you cannot get focus back without restarting Outlook Express. This program issue when used with nvda has been around for years but is so unpredictable its hard to troubleshoot, and may not be fixable. Brian bglists@blueyonder.co.uk Sent via blueyonder.

Typically, the security will came out if you installed added toolbar or a form of malware would significantly affects the performance and function of ones browsers that you are using. But, if you are pretty much confident that nothing could harm you so I would suggest or prefer the one browsers that best fit for your needs. And, for the Edge browser for windows 10, it was indeed or sometimes inaccessible for many screen readers not like with the one you mentioned.

I contacted Tech Support and, to my horror, they recommended that I go back to using Internet Explorer in order to do my schoolwork. Although I had used IE for as long as I can remember, I had stopped using it because of this article (among many others): Millions of Windows users to face MAJOR security issues within weeks http://www.express.co.uk/life-style/science-technology/624760/Windows-Microsoft-Internet-Explorer-End-Support-Web-Browser Then when I got my new Asus laptop in February which runs Windows 10, I read an article that said that NVDA wasn't compatible with Microsoft Edge (See below for the link). NVDA and Windows 10 http://www.nvaccess.org/win10/ Unsure which browser I should use then, I immediately returned to using Firefox and attempted to submit a homework assignment to Hadley through its usage, only to run in to the same technical difficulties with assignment submission again! Undoubtedly, the school's Tech Support will urge me to switch back to using IE again, but I admit I'm afraid to because of what I had read in the above article about this browser. I'm also fully aware that if I was to chat with somebody at Microsoft's Disability Answer Desk at: https://login.live.com/login.srf?wa=wsignin1.0&rpsnv=12&ct=1436994582&rver=6.5.6509.0&wp=mbi_ssl&wreply=https%3a%2f%2fpartner.support.services.microsoft.com%2fen-us%2fpartners%2fdad&lc=1033&id=293453&pcexp=false they would try to push me to use Edge as my browser in spite of its incompatibility with NVDA. This situation's so frustrating for me, because I so badly want to submit my coursework ASAP! Can anyone using Windows 10 and NVDA please recommend a browser to me? Thank you so much, for you have no idea how much I would appreciate your recommendation! aloha, Jolene.
