The thing you're interested in stopping is under the Privacy Pane of Firefox Settings.

The two specific areas you will want to look through, and you should review both first because they influence each other, are History and Location Bar.

You may be able to achieve your aim just by unchecking everything under Location Bar, but if that doesn't do it you can manipulate what gets kept for history nine ways to Sunday.  You could also choose to always use Private browsing mode under the History section as well, in which case absolutely nothing will be remembered and if you wipe out whatever already is, it's like you're dealing with a perpetually clean slate.

Well, I have OE partially set up.  I can receive messages, but can not send them.  The good thing is that I set it up for imap.  If I want to reply to someone, I can use Thunderbird. 

Reading messages in Outlook with Jaws is a breeze.  The program is not cluttered and I can get through my messages at least twice as fast.  So, for now, this will help a lot in getting through all of the extra email.  I know things will slow down as soon as I  am able to get caught up on infirmation I am gleaning from the three new lists, plus the heavier than normal traffic from the other group I belong to.  

Thanks again for the link.

As I'm not a high Email user and I don't much like the Mail App I thought I'd give it a shot since there seem to be issues with Thunderbird.

 

So if some of you are old enough to remember OE and don't like the offerings of today perhaps this is a good solution for you.

Re: Eloquence pitch in jaws?
Yes, this can be done.  My instructions may not be the best, but I think you can figure it out since you have already been in the Jaws options and found
the voice settings.  From within the voices setting, choose voice adjustment.
Press alt-v to get to the combo box where you choose which cursor you want to modify.
you will get to an option where you can down arrow through options for default cursor, PC cursor, Jaws cursor, etc.
You can not have the option set to default.  After choosing the cursor you want to set, tab until you find the pitch setting. This is the next tab after
the punctuation setting.
You change it with the arrow keys.
Once you have it set, tab to save as and give it a name, something you will recognize, like Glen pitch 44  and press enter on OK.
You will be asked if you want to set this for the default.  Enter on yes or OK, I forgot what it is called at this point.
Now, you will have access to that voice whenever you want to use it.

I really don't like the default pitch for the Jaws eloquence. Is it possible
to change this? I know with Window-eyes I could, but for some reason I
haven't found how to do it in Jaws. I found something that says the pitch
for uppercase where you can input a percent. I haven't found anything else.

 
Along the same lines are there hot keys to rotor through the screen,
keyboard, mouse, virtual cursor settings. In Window-Eyes it was
control-Alt-arrows etc. Still trying to get used to things. I just activated
my copy today.

 
Much thanks,

Actually it works quite well on Windows 10 V1607 using Jaws 18 and accessing ATT email addresses. I have had no issues in the nearly 48 hours I've been using it. In fact this entire series of emails has been sent and received using it.

It looks just like I remember it on XP and I have no problems what so ever with it and Jaws.

Carol, the versions that are there are beta programs which means they
most likely have problems. and last I heard is that the version that you
can get by paying a nominal fee doesn't work well enough to be used with
a screen reader. since Microsoft doesn't support Outlook Express any
more, it's likely that it'll be very difficult to find any assistance. I
wouldn't bother with it.

Thank you. I am getting enough traffice right now that this would be a
good time to test it. I will put this email account on it and see how
it goes.

Does it work on Windows 7? I thought it was not supposed to, so
that is why I don't have it. By the time they got most of the
bugs out of WLM, I had already gotten used to Thunderbird. Also,
how does Windows Mail work, if it does at all, on Windows 7? Thankd

I am.  They are pics taken with a camera. I doubt it had a USB port or cable come with it.   

Does anyone know if coloured pictures can be scanned into a computer?  If so, how isJAWS with reading it?

Hi, how do I prevent Jaws or any screen reader from  saying something like m.yahoo when I start to type an address into the address bar?  I also want to prevent it from showing a list of possible sites that it could be in a list as I type.  I would love to get rid of all search engines but I don’t see how this is possible I looked under search.  I’m using latest Firefox  any help is appreciated.
