Good Morning Bill,

Thank you. So this only gives a sound for downloads? There is no way to add sounds for other navigation such as entering on links etc? Or does Firefox have that built in now?

Hi, Joe. Navigational Sounds is no longer available through the AddOn Manager of Firefox. This is because Navigational Sounds no longer works with Firefox Quantum (version 60 and up).

Instead,

1.  open Firefox.

2. Press CONTROL plus SHIFT plus A to open the AddOn Manager.

3. Tab to the list of available categories within the AddOn Manager.

4. The category you want to open is Extensions. When you find it, press ENTER.

5. TAB to the search box and enter

download sound.

6. The AddOn you want to install is:

Download Sound1.4By

BPS

Plays a sound or utters a text using speech synthesis when a download is completed.This simple extension plays a sound or utters a text using speech synthesis

when a download is completed.

This is a deceptive description, because, as installed, it just plays a simple ding sound, once the AddOn is installed.

This is the best way to get a download sound for Firefox downloads.

Good Morning Folks,

I am about to make the switch to Firefox from Internet Explorer. If I remember correctly from a couple years ago in one of the FS free webinars on the topic there was a navigational sounds add on. Is that add on still available? Also any recommendations for any other helpful add ons or tips for migration?

Thanks in advance.

Joe

You can't, at least not in any meaningful and comprehensive way.   You
are far better off spending your time and energy to learn the Windows
10 user interface which is really not all that much different from
earlier versions of Windows in many respects.

The above being said, Classic Shell ( http://classicshell.net/ ) is
still functioning under Windows 10.  Since it is no longer in active
development it is almost certain that it will eventually break, which
is why I do not recommend using it.  I also just think it's a bad idea
trying to make one operating system user interface "pretend" to be
that of another because if you ever have to use another Windows 10
computer, and you will, you will be lost.

I also strongly suggest that most screen reader users use desktop
shortcuts as their primary interface for the programs they use most
and use the built-in Cortana search (even if her personal digital
assistant feature is
disabled) by hitting Windows Key and typing in the name of the program
or keywords for the setting or partial name of a document, etc.,
you're looking for and it's likely to show up at or near the top of
the search results list.

There are some slight changes regarding how desktop shortcuts are
created for built-in universal apps.  It's not difficult.  See:

* Adding Desktop Shortcuts Under Windows 10 (

File Explorer is virtually identical to Windows Explorer of Windows 7
unless you've customized it.  If you wish to customize it under Windows 10, see:

* Changing Your Folder View in File Explorer Using a Screen Reader (

I would also strongly suggest you join the Windows 10 for Screen
Reader User's group.  Send an e-mail to win10+help@win10.groups.io to
get all the details.
