Richard and all, I am using the latest version of JAWS 2020, and cannot upgrade to 2021 yet. I've also tried NVDA and Narrator and still have no access. however, I red the discussion and possible fix/work around at the following thread:
toggle quoted message

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1714212 1. Start Firefox. 2. Enter the address about:config in the address bar. 3. Accept the warning. 4. In the search box, enter the word skeleton 5. In the table below, browser.startup.preXulSkeletonUI should appear and it will have a value of true. Press the Toggle button to set it to false. 6. Restart Firefox. this works, as I now can use JAWS, NVDA or Narrator with Firefox as if there wasn't any problem. I don't know exactly what the feature does, but it was mentioned that it might have been left on true unintentionally before releasing FF 89.0. -------- Original Message --------

I'd be interested as I rather stick with Firefox and am in the same situation as you are with using Firefox 89.0 with JAWS. -------- Original Message -------- From: Soronel Haetir [mailto:soronel.haetir@...] Subject: Firefox not working Date: Friday, June 4, 2021, 12:36 PM To: main@jfw.groups.io Okay, I should say I just tried restarting FF with extensions disabled and it now works. Guess I need to go through my extensions and try disabling them one at a time.

Try rebooting. Jaws 2020 seems to be a bit sluggish when I tested with it, but since I primarily use Jaws 2021, I did not go much beyond just confirming that it works but just takes longer to load.

I examined the UIA tree with an accessibility test tool and the nodes needed by jaws simply are not present. I'm using chrome to submit this but I really don't care for it, much prefer FF. Has anyone else experienced this? -- Soronel Haetir soronel.haetir@... . |
