NVDA and latest Thunderbird


Don H
 

Running latest Win 10 aand latest released version of NVDA.
I am currently runing Thunderbird version 91.13.0 and Thunderbird wants me to update to version 102.2.0
Does this new vversion of Thunderbird work well with NVDA or is this the one that has issues that came up on the list a while back?
Thanks


 

Everything should be fine. Mozilla enhancements has been updated. There are some differences.

If you use the status line, it won't be there,  If you don't use the status line, I don't think you will have any problems that amount to anything.  If you use the address book, how you find addresses has changed.  If you use autocomplete, you won't see any difference.

I think the latest version of thunderbird is what came up on the list not too long ago.

It may be that Mozilla enhancements now causes the status line to be read when you issue the read status line command. The apps enhancement didn't used to be necessary to have that done.

well latest thunder bird of  102.2.0 actually has all the fixes in, they broke the progress bars again on 102.1.2 after fixing it in 1.1 but yeah who knows about the rest.

I am just happy even though its not completely accurate that we at least have a progress bar now.

I don't think it breaks first  letter navigation.  I believe it was removed because now you are supposed to use a search feature to find names in the addressbook;  I use autocomplete but that is my recollection from the very little I played with the address book in  102.x.

That is just stupid if they deliberately took it out. I'd have thought for many its faster to use first letter. Brian

Hi Group,

I just updated to the latest version of NVDA and I also checked for the update to Mozilla Apps Enhancement and it said I had the latest version.  I am also running a portable Thunderbird and updating it to every new update to see whether or not the issues with the status line are resolved and of now, they are not.  If this new version of Mozilla apps enhancement is available somewhere, what is the download link?

I got this from a message Javi Dominguez sent.



Hello.

I've just released the update of the addonMozilla Apps Enhancements 1.17


New in this version:

* Fixed what was broken with the Thunderbird 102.0 update
* Again correctly reads message headers.
* Gestures for reading headers have been modified; now control+shift+1-9 reads the sender and recipients and control+shift+0 reads the subject.
* Now correctly reads the status bar.
* Message reading in the preview pane has been improved and automatic reading has been implemented. Now when selecting a message in the list its content will be read without having to press anything else (as long as the preview panel is activated [F8]). This feature can be turned on or off in NVDA Preferences > Options > Mozilla Thunderbird or by using a gesture (not assigned by default).
* Some performance improvements and minor bug fixes.

Sadly I have noticed a few addons have never made it to automatics, tony's enhancements is still at v 13, the latest windows apps and addon updater that joseph said were cued for distribution never appeared.

Mozilla apps enhancements have not made it to the updater or the addons site either.

So you either update these manually from github sources by looking for them on google or you just use old versions.

In all case you have to disable updater on updating these back to the old versions which really starts to invalidate the updater system.

Is there any way we can get addons submitted faster to update especially if they are existing addons.

My error.  I named the wrong program here.  However, Thunder Bird has an additional update as of this morning.

It was updated to 102.0.20.
