Re: some basic chrome naviagation questions
David Goldfield
Hi. 1. Yes, pressing ctrl-T does open a new tab in Chrome. 2. To get to your bookmarks, open the Chrome menu. There are several ways to do this but I usually press alt-F, just as if you were opening the file menu. From there, either press the letter B or press down arrow until you get to Bookmarks. Generally, I rarely use bookmarks as I prefer to type in a partial name of the site that I want to visit and, if I've visited it before, I can browse through a list of possible names. As an example, suppose that I've visited Freedom Scientific's Web site in the past and I now want to visit it again. Regardless of whether I've bookmarked the site or not I can easily find it by doing the following.
1. Press either alt-D or ctrl-L to move to Chrome's address bar. 2. Begin by typing in the name or title of the site, such as FR or free. Chrome will attempt to fill in the name and, more often than not, it will have filled in the correct name of the site, which I can verify by reading the current line by pressing insert-up
arrow. If it has filled in the correct address press enter. 3. If Chrome doesn't get the name correctly just press down arrow and you will very likely find the site that you wanted. Keep pressing down arrow to navigate through a list of choices. Press enter and you should be taken to that site.

Re: Two Firefox Questions - Sounds Upon Download Completion and Activating Message
Bill White
Yes, there is a plugin for Firefox to give a sound after download completion. Press CONTROL plus SHIFT plus A for AddOns manager. Then TAB to the search field and type in download sound, and press ENTER.
Once you find download sound, TAB to the link which says add to firefox. It will come up and tell you that you need to give permission. To give permission, press ALT plus A.
To save a password when it asks you, press ALT plus S. If it asks you if you want to save the password, and you don’t want to save it, press ALT plus D. You must do this quickly, or you will lose your chance to save the password on that login.

Hi!
I am using JAWS 2019 and Firefox, all the latest builds, under Windows 7. In Firefox, how do you make it play a sound upon download completion? Is there a plug-in for this or some setting within Firefox itself? Also, sometimes Firefox speaks a message telling me that some sort of action is required; like “Do you want to save the password for this website?” How do you get to the message’s buttons (e.g., yes, no, etc.) to address the message?
Thanks, Richard

setting voices for outlook
Mario
someone I know who is using JAWS 18 with Outlook 2016 wants to have a
female voice when reading an email and a male voice when composing a new or replying/forwarding an email. the male voice can be the same as the default voice. how can this be done? I'm going to be helping him since he is not savvy to do this himself. but I need help to tell him the steps needed to do this. it also sounds like the theme is not classic or may be set to classic but has been mucked up with different voices by someone else trying to straighten his mess out. how do I check and/or reset his speech theme?

Re: waterfox with jaws
Gerald Levy
Well,Waterfox portable does not work at all on my 32 bit Windows 7 desktop. When I open it, I get an interface with the following items: app, beta, other, help and waterfox 56.exe. But when I click on the last item, it just lists these same five items again. There is no home page or anything resembling a search edit field. Obviously, something is really screwed up.

Re: I am having a problem exiting Dropbox
German A Fermin
Dave, windows+B to get to the list of programs, enter on Dopbox and up or down arrow until you get to preferences. You want to go to the last tab here. It may say selective sync. In that tab you will find a move button. This is the only way you should be moving dropbox folders.

Re: waterfox with jaws

it runs exactly like firefox once you reboot it the first time.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
i also find that web pages load allot faster. so far jaws speech has not randomly paused for 10 seconds all the time like firefox 65 does. ** you have to reboot waterfox after it has been loaded because it detects your screen reader first and tells you accessibility is parcialy disabled. i forget what the buttons are like reboot. once you do this it will open with the waterfox home screen. which you can change in the tools/options menu. then it will run the same as firefox.

Re: waterfox with jaws

If I hit alt-b, the first option is "show all bookmarks", and it also lists the keyboard command of ctrl-shift-b, which would be a faster way of getting to the same screen. This opens the library window, which I can then search. It's also possible to remove bookmarks from here.

Hi Liz! The best browser to use with JAWS, for me, has been a browser called: Waterfox. It was developed in 2012, and it is a spin off of Firefox, but it works tons better. It can use all of the classic Firefox plugins, and it is so very fast. JAWS never messes up in Waterfox. It is kept up to date, and it is very secure. A new update just came out. Water fox has an interface that is almost like the old Firefox. It has a spell check built in and everything. It has a reading mode where you can get the clutter off the page, and read the article. The reading mode is built in. You just press: Alt+CTRL+R to put a web site into reading mode. With JAWS, I would say that Waterfox is my favorite browser. You can just do a Google search for Waterfox. What I like as well, is the ability to download a portable version of Waterfox. I love running a portable version, that I keep on the computer, because you do not have to install it on the computer. Also, if you keep the portable version on the computer, you can create a short cut on the desktop just like you can with installed programs. I hope this helps. Take care, Liz.

Re: waterfox with jaws
Dennis,
All I did was to open Google and then I searched for “Download Waterfox” The first search result was what I wanted and I pressed enter on it After the website opened I went to the top and used Jaws search, Control + Jaws Key + F to search for the word Download The first item it found was a link which said “Download Waterfox” After that I got my Safe AS dialogue where it wanted to download Waterfox 56.something setup. It took me about 30 seconds although I didn’t download it in the end because I use Chrome which works extremely well for me and since I was never a big fan of Firefox I doubt I would find Waterfox to be better then Chrome.
