this happens when I use Chrome, but when I choose to use Firefox and start typing the address I visited before, JAWS does not read as I type the address. is there a setting I need to change? anyone know?

I probably type in more than I need to, but daily I check the Nebraska lottery page, and that site is: http://www.nelottery.com/ but if I do ctrl + L and type in only the letters nelott it takes me there.

In fact, I unplugged the cable I have from the ethernet connection on the back of my computer, and I still get the same "Firefox is not responding", and it just hangs there with my whole machine frozen until I exit Firefox. What's up with that, I wonder? -----Original Message----- From: main@jfw.groups.io [mailto:main@jfw.groups.io] On Behalf Of netbat66 Sent: Wednesday, March 25, 2020 5:55 PM To: main@jfw.groups.io Subject: Re: Firefox Is Not Responding by unplugging the modem if you don't have it on a power strip. a few modems have a button you can press to disconnect from the net too. but you have to do this right after firefox has been installed. -----Original Message----- From: Annabelle Susan Morison Sent: Wednesday, March 25, 2020 5:41 PM To: main@jfw.groups.io Subject: Re: Firefox Is Not Responding I wonder if there's a way to change those options while the Internet connection is off.

Before then, it was working fine. When I reinstall it, it automatically tries updating to Firefox 60, and I don't understand why, because I've turned off updates to Firefox. Has anyone else had this happen to them? .
