I should add that I don't find live365 any better using ie or chrome. I use nvda for my main screenreader and only switch to jaws if I want to virtualize the current window to copy and paste a dialog message, or read the current page, line and cell positions in a duxbury braille file. another question is how can I rewind or fast forward in a youtube video, since firefox 40 doesn't work with jaws 13 and i can't turn the virtual cursor on and off to use j, k and l (rewind, play/pause, fast forward) with nvda? thanks.

A while back I had to give up on live365.com and I don't know if it now works because of their changes my upgrades with JAWS and Windows 10. They are quite responsive to blind people contacting them as I've talked with their staff on various occasions over the past few years and they are quite concerned about trying to address accessibility issues as they are aware that a lot of blind people use their site.

I got this computer last spring with windows 7 installed; the latest jaws version my current license allowed was jaws 13, which doesn't support my current version of firefox or thunderbird. how will live365 work on a windows 7 machine with jaws 13 or nvda? also uninstalling and reinstalling webvisum (repeatedly based on varying situations) may be somewhat of a pain, which i don't want to have to suffer through. thanks.

I have no problems with it using Internet Explorer 11 and Windows 10 with latest version of Jaws. Of late Firefox has been acting a bit clunky with the Web Visum add on installed as well as it just isn't as responsive on many web sites. I only use it when I have to such as for solving captchas or it sometimes handles selection points where there is flash content better.

I went to the about:config page and carried out the steps; I have youtube working in firefox, but still have a problem with live365.com. When I go to that site, select a genre or station and hit Listen, I find an "embedded object unavailable" message, and no sound is heard--the embedded player stays silent. also the page keeps refreshing, indicated by the constant clicking sound present since installing webvisum. anyone else having trouble with live365? thanks.

Flash protected mode might cause Flash performance problems in Firefox, such as persistent hangs or plugin crashes. This is especially true for users on Windows touchscreen devices and for users who use accessibility tools.
You can turn off Flash protected mode by following these steps:
1. Press Control plus l to open the Location bar, type about:config and press Enter.
. The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear. Click I'll be careful, I promise! to continue to the about:config page.
2. Search for
dom.ipc.plugins.flash.disable-protected-mode
in the list of preferences.
3. Press Enter on the preference to toggle its value from false to true.
4. Press CONTROL plus W to close the about:config window.
5. Close Firefox, and re-launch Firefox for the new setting to take effect.

I'm curious about turning off Flash and why we should disable it. Didn't know labels worked better in Youtube without it. Thing is do we disable or set to ask to activate?
I decided to look in to this. Found a checkbox for Flash in Firefox that wasn't labeled so I read more and found something we should know about. I'll paste it below without comment.
Adobe Flash protected mode in Firefox | Firefox Help

No, it's not a security issue. Like I said, if you had said you were getting an error that Flash was disabled, that would have been the problem.
I have noticed that Firefox seems to crash a bit with video embedded sites lately. Honestly, what I've found that helped me was installing an add-on called Adblock. I installed it at the recommendation of a friend, but when I did, almost all my crashing problems stopped. You can download it at www.getadblock.com if you want it. It has fixed most of my issues.

I can still listen to the stations or videos in question on my iphone; sometimes when I get a crash message in FF (on my win7 computer using nvda) I try the link in my ot her browsers--sometimes it works, other times not. other browsers may get unresponsive, or show the controls but no sound is heard from the embedded player. I'll get a message like "embedded object unavailable." why would flash's security diminish with later versions of firefox--i.e., why did those sites work in earlier ff versions on my older windows xp computer, but not in the current version on my new windows 7 machine?

Sorry you didn't get my response from a few days ago. Trying again...
What I wrote regarding Firefox 40.0.3 was:
That should work. I thought you were going to say the buttons weren't reading for you correctly, because that is often the case with Firefox. Flash reads better with Internet Explorer. If you're getting a message that Flash is disabled, it suggests that there is a security flaw in Flash and Firefox is blocking access to it until Adobe releases a patched version of Flash. If it's crashing, that's a beast of another color.

using firefox 40.0.3; what is the latest version that supports afp? on some websites that use flash content (youtube, spotify, live365, video streaming sites with embedded objects or players, etc.) I get a popup saying the adobe flash plug-in has crashed. the same site may or may not work on other browsers such as IE, chrome or webbIE. uninstalling and reinstalling afp didn't improve things. thanks for your feedback. _______________________________________________ Jfw mailing list Jfw@... http://lists.the-jdh.com/mailman/listinfo/jfw_lists.the-jdh.com
