NVDA Web Browser Problem


Louis Maher <ljmaher@...>
 

Folks,

Several weeks ago, my NVDA (version 16.4) was unable to access Firefox
(51.?). When I opened a webpage, the arrow keys just said unknown when I
used them. I uninstalled NVDA and Firefox and re-installed both. I am now
on NVDA 17.1), and I have the same issue.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi, Do you have another back up screen reader to rectify your problem? If
you do, then try your back up screen reader and see if you have that same
problem! If NVDA is your primary screen reader you are in trouble.

Hi Louis


I had some thing similar a while ago. it happened in mozilla thunder
bird as well as in mozilla fire fox.


When you went into mozilla fire fox even if you tabbed tried using arrow
keys single letter navigation keys etc it would also say unknown. Plus
the menus up the top would not work.


usually if the menus did not show you could use the f11 key to bring
them back but not in this case. So would get unknown in both programs.


it seemed some how some settings in mozilla fire fox had got corrupted

I can not remember if it happened in other programs i think they were
the only ones.


The way i was able to fix it was



I uninstalled mozilla fire fox from the add/remove programs section in
windows it might be called some thing else in other versions of windows.
it can be found under the control panel section.


When it has been done then Press the windows key + letter R to bring up
the run dialogue, then type in the following %appdata% then press the
enter key.


it will give you a list of folders and you will need to find the one for
mozilla

it will need to be deleted all together.


.


please note it will delete all of your settings then reinstall mozilla
fire fox, it then fixed the problem.

I also did the same as you did with nvda i uninstalled it from add
remove section and also did the other by pressing the Windows key +
letter R then typing in %appdata% then pressing the enter key, locating
the nvda folder and deleting it out then reinstalling nvda.
it was not NVDA that caused it but the other mozilla setting that i removed.

All has been good for months.

it may or may not be the same problem.

I thought about putting how to do this up on my website under the
trouble shooting section for nvda but only have heard it happen now and
again.

Before uninstalling and reinstalling programs, try registering dll files in a procedure that has been discussed here before.  I don't know the procedure but it doesn't involve manually editing the registry.  It is a procedure to register one or more dll files.  If these files for some reason become unregistered, behavior such as you are describing will be seen.  The procedure involves typing and executing a command at the DOS prompt.  List members who have used it or know more about it will, I expect, discuss the matter further.  Uninstalling Firefox and NVDA may not solve the problem.  If it is the unregistered DLL files problem, it won't and considerable time and effort will have been wasted.  Registering the files is a quick and easy procedure.

Thank you Gene.

I now remember this discussion in the past. I believe the problem came from
removing MathPlayer which I have done in the past few months.

I tried the procedure listed below, and the problem persists in Firefox and
Internet Explorer.

Perhaps I will try Edge.

Thanks for your help.

Come to think of it as well when i had maths player when it first came
out after i uninstalled it i got a problem like that. at the time the
only fix was to reinstall the maths player again then things went back
to normal. Not sure if the bug has been fixed in a update to it as i did
not reinstall it after that as it is some thing i may not use.

Thank you Gene.

I now remember this discussion in the past. I believe the problem came from
removing MathPlayer which I have done in the past few months.

I tried the procedure listed below, and the problem persists in Firefox and
Internet Explorer.

Perhaps I will try Edge.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Louis


I had some thing similar a while ago. it happened in mozilla thunder bird as
well as in mozilla fire fox.


When you went into mozilla fire fox even if you tabbed tried using arrow
keys single letter navigation keys etc it would also say unknown. Plus
the menus up the top would not work.


usually if the menus did not show you could use the f11 key to bring
them back but not in this case. So would get unknown in both programs.


it seemed some how some settings in mozilla fire fox had got corrupted

I can not remember if it happened in other programs i think they were
the only ones.


The way i was able to fix it was



I uninstalled mozilla fire fox from the add/remove programs section in
windows it might be called some thing else in other versions of windows.
it can be found under the control panel section.


When it has been done then Press the windows key + letter R to bring up
the run dialogue, then type in the following %appdata% then press the
enter key.


it will give you a list of folders and you will need to find the one for
mozilla

it will need to be deleted all together.


.


please note it will delete all of your settings then reinstall mozilla
fire fox, it then fixed the problem.

I also did the same as you did with nvda i uninstalled it from add
remove section and also did the other by pressing the Windows key +
letter R then typing in %appdata% then pressing the enter key, locating
the nvda folder and deleting it out then reinstalling nvda.
it was not NVDA that caused it but the other mozilla setting that i removed.

All has been good for months.

it may or may not be the same problem.

I thought about putting how to do this up on my website under the
trouble shooting section for nvda but only have heard it happen now and
again.

Hi Louis,

Someone else reported a similar thing and noted the solution for them was to alt+tab away from Firefox and back.  It's not an ideal solution obviously, but I'd be curious to see if that helped.  That issue is: https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/5550

There's another bug for a similar thing, saying "unknown" after reading the page title.  Often (in the case of this user), waiting a moment after that, NVDA would go on to read the page: https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/4882

Finally, another problem that can cause this if it's happening in all browsers, is it could be a system component.  This thread has a number of ideas: https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/2807

Finally, if you could get the log file to send to me that might help too.  Info on the log file available here: https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/wiki/LogFilesAndCrashDumps

Kind regards

Quentin.

Hi Quentin,

 

The problem was that I had uninstalled MathPlayer, and that removed a component NVDA uses for browsers.  Reinstalling MathPlayer restored that unknown component, and now NVDA works with Firefox and Internet Explorer.

 

JAWS apparently does not use this unknown component.  Note that this unknown component is not part of NVDA because uninstalling NVDA and reinstalling NVDA does not fix this problem.

Hi Arlene,

WINDOWS+B is a Windows command itself, not an NVDA command.

If you open the taskbar settings (easiest way is to open the start menu and start typing "taskbar"), then "Select which icons appear on the taskbar", make sure that "always show all icons in the notification area" is checked then it will ensure that you don't need to look in the notification overflow area to find some.

I think providing access to all notification tray icons even without that setting is the main extra thing that the Jaws setting does?

That being the case, we didn't want to use up a command to duplicate something which could already be achieved with an existing command.  As for why Windows chose WINDOWS+B to get to the notification area, I have never figured that out.

Kind regards

Quentin.
