Thank good ness somebody else has this issue. Everyone else is saying its marginally slower and only no script and some add ons fail. In my and your case its just not accessible and we need to discover the reason. I am using 32 bit Firefox and windows 7 64. If this is also you one of these might well be the reason. I suggest downloading version 52esr and sticking to that version until the situation is clearer. 57 is a bit of a mess since its half way to being a completely different browser to 56.

If you read all the Firefox messages here and read some of the nvaccess recent blogs, or the large item on the Jaws website you will find that this is a serious issue, more for some than others and all in the name of making it less hackable but in doing so making it hard for screenreaders to actually use it at all, at least in its eventual finished state.

Also for anyone;s information I called freedom scientific and they were aware, I was told they changed the way their accessibility works with it, but who knows. I also told firefox not to update before I installed the old version.

One of the issues may be related with that alert asking if you want to accept web push from the site you are accessing.

If it's checked you can't get to it to uncheck it
because the program isn't accessible enough to do so. It is unchecked by default. If you are using the program and
able to use it to an extent, the check box is already unchecked. If people
want to experiment, use the new version. If not, use the ESR version until
the inconveniences and problems some people are having have been worked out in
the new versions.

Yes Well unfortunately, this made absolutely no difference either way when I tried it running windows 7 64 and 32 bit Firefox.

I have a feeling there is a bug in that routine under some circumstances, and I'm sure Mozilla will fix it but in the mean time I'm happier as I am I feel. I tried to get nv access to at least make a note in the new users start page, but they said a link to the web article would be enough. We shall see. I think quite often Programmers over estimate a new users ability to find these things out, personally. If you have ever worked with an elderly blind lady with no interest in computers and who simply shops and sends emails the new Firefox could bring a lot of support people a lot of calls!

That is correct though I seem to recall you can with Narrator, in 10, but not 7.

It was unchecked but the menus worked as I said earlier and so the problem with no browse or focus mode seems to be that only the rendering part of the access is shut off to windows 7 under some specific circumstances, probably when using 64 bit 7 and 32 bit Firefox, I'd surmise, but I was not willing on the good day to day machine to mess about and possibly losing lots of bookmarks etc. Brian bglists@blueyonder.co.uk Sent via blueyonder.
