Is there a way to contact the Firefox accessibility
team? Unless the notify me when a page tries to redirect or refresh
feature was reintroduced in version 58, that is a serious question that should
be addressed and that those concerned should write to the accessibility team
about. This wasn't mentioned in the blog entry about improvements in
Firefox 58.

Hi, Lino,
I don't need special sounds to tell me when a web site has finished loading. Brian, listen for the word "busy" when a page has finished loading. Why do we have to have special sounds for that?

Busy is what is said at times when a web page is
loading. When a page has finished loading, it starts reading
automatically, if NVDA defaults are used. And while a page is loading, you
can't move around on the page.
I have no objection to wanting sounds. My
objection is in being so unyielding about sounds that you would, evidently, not
use the newest version of Firefox even after the ESR is no longer being kept
current with security updates. I don't know if that's what you, Brian, are
saying you will do, but you said you wouldn't use the newer versions of Firefox
until there are sounds.

True but often it says nothing at all or gets just unknown for a while, ie I tried on the latest snap of master to view the whats new and here is the log and the developer info from the resulting window. This happens a lot with Firefox randomly.

I am going to sound like a broken bit of 78 record here, and I do apologise. Please could we have some optional sounds with Firefox so we can hear when downloads are complete, when clicking something actually worked and when the page is fully loaded again. I grew up with ie and only went to firefox when navigational sounds was released, since certain ahem, other browsers in later windows decided to not go to sounds. There has been a polarisation of views on this list, but I do seriously feel, from the people who do not use this list and are only interested in using their computers and are not expert users, I need to act as an advocate and say that having no sound is very very off-putting to such users.

I did some digging for you! This is why I love blind people so much. Giving opinions rather than answering your question, to the person who is looking for the sound scheme. It's not worth hearing all opinions, much less explain it to a super blindy. :, don't bother with them. They are not worth a reply. Anyway, I did some digging for you and, although, it is not browser focused, it may help. It is a sound scheme for windows that covers the whole operating system, even web browsers. The link is below.

I suspect though that it may not have any events passed to it from Firefox, if there was this, then there would not have been any need for navigational sounds to start with as we could just use the windows ones already there.

It has nothing to do with superblind people nor
with blind people at all, whom you generalize about and disparage by saying that
they just offer opinions. I didn't look up such information because I
thought there was unlikely to be another such add on. There are lots of
blind people who use firefox who don't use sounds and they aren't, nor do
they hold themselves out as super blind people.
If you finally looked something up, after this
discussion has gone on for a month, fine. I'm glad you found something
that may be useful. You can present such information without disparaging
others. You can also express an opinion such as, some blind people
are too intent on convincing others to do something another way. That
isn't disparaging or dismissive.
As to the issue of sounds, my position is that
if you use an older version of a browser which has stopped being supported just
because of sounds, that is an overreliance on
sounds. Sacrificing security for sounds when there are other ways to
tell when a page finishes loading and of following downloads is, in my opinion,
a bad idea. Things aren't ideal. In deciding whether to hear sounds
or have a safer computer, I think choosing sounds is a bad choice. there
is nothing superblind about it. If you disagree, fine. You can
express your disagreement without being disparaging.

Hmm, the Firefox esr is supported after all, but IE is not as far as I can tell.

As for over relience, well, that depends on your experience of what is reliable and everyone probably has their own anecdote about this. Just take a look at my experiences with problems with nvda and browsers no matter what computer I'm using. its all probably due to something as yet unknown, so you find work arounds, in my case its sounds.

Hi ! I have used the Windows sound scheme for which a link was posted below for a ong time now, both with Internet Explorer and with Firefox, and I can report from my own experience that this sound scheme only adds browser sounds to Firefox if the Navigational Sounds Firefox add-on is used. Therefore, as I gather that Navigational Sounds doesn’t work with Firefox Quantum, the sound scheme won’t restore sounds in Firefox 57 or later, even though you will get other sounds for the rest of Windows if you use the scheme. Sorry this doesn’t help people who prefer sounds in their web browsers, but I felt I should point out that the sound scheme mentioned below will not solve the problem of there being no sounds in the newest versions of Firefox and no possibility of installing Navigational Sounds as an add-on for those new versions. Bye for now! From Clare

Unfortunately, some of the addons is not usable if you are using
Firefox Quantum that somehow could not adhere as for specific
function or purpose I do hope they would able to came up
resolution to handle this problem in terms of accessibility.
Wondering they would have predict this on hand cause seemingly
impact lots of users. Not sure if anyone here reported this to the
Mozillian space so that they are aware of.

In addition, I did tested this one time to my Windows 10 and nothing to be against in terms of the speed. However, upon downloading certain file the progress bar could not even heard in the background and not sure what exactly causing of no sounds of it.
