Sometimes everything goes back to normal after I alt-tab away and come back. Other times, I end up having to unload Chrome in the task manager before anything will work right.

Just curious. When this happens with Firefox and JAWS “comes back”, can you then activate links? If you alt-tab away from Firefox and then return to it, does the virtual cursor/buffer come on, or are you stuck in PC mode? Can you close firefox with alt-f4?
I haven’t detected any pattern about what sites cause this hang to happen; it seems to involve pages with many links, though, possibly. Anyway, if you are experiencing the same thing, it’s some kind of jAWS bug.

I’m wondering if anybody else is having this problem. I’m running Firefox version 62, latest version of JFW, and Windows 10. I’ll be arrowing down through a web page, and all of a sudden JAWS just stops reading. Sometimes it comes back after a few seconds, but not always. I especially notice it when reading the Boston Globe in NFB Newsline on the web.
Also when I’m using Google Docs, I’m noticing an irritating lag when I hit up or down arrow in a document.
Any thoughts on how to remedy this?

What I’m referring to is managing whether or not Chrome remembers passwords, and how to get Chrome to save a password after logging onto a website.

Moving Emails to Folders in Outlook 2016
Brian Prewitt
Good afternoon,
My company recently upgraded to Office 2016, and I have a coworker who is having trouble moving emails to folders. He used to go to the Home tab then to the Move section. He would hit spacebar and be able to choose from several folders. Now, he gets to the move item and Jaws says there’s a grid and he can’t go to the grid by tabbing or using the arrow keys. He is on Windows 7 and the latest build of jaws 2018. He used to be able to do this function in Outlook 2010. Thanks for your help, Brian Prewitt Information Systemsupgrsed Manager Mississippi Industries for the Blind 2501 North West Street Jackson, MS 39216 Office: 601.984.3213

Re: Firefox Lagging and Freezing
JM Casey <crystallogic@...>
Hi Bill.
Really? That’s weird. Because I haven’t been able to reproduce the problem with NVDA at all, whereas it happens with JAWS multiple times a day. I say this while jAWS is still my primary screen-reader – after all, I did just buy the 2018 upgrade – however I switch to NVDA periodically and try to duplicate the same browsing habits. No hangs yet.
I just asked my sighted girlfriend, whom I thought was using Firefox on her laptop, but it turns out she’s on chrome. Still though, I’ll guess that non-screen-reader users are not having this problem.
I’ll see if I can duplicate with NVDA again, or Narrator even, though I don’t really use the latter at all. Seems like there are some crossed wires here as the other fellow who was communicating with VFO, I think, already had determined that it was a JAWS issue. But well, it’s obviously connected with both, somehow, and there might indeed be something VFO has to do to fix Firefox support in the next update, regardless of whether the bug originated with Mozilla.

Hi, JM. I was just on the phone with VFO, and we even reproduced the issue on my machine with JAWS unloaded, using Narrator. So, either it is a Firefox/Windows problem, or it is a Firefox problem which affects computers running any screen reader, even Narrator. I wish I could have had someone sighted here to find out if Firefox is still freezing when a screen reader isn’t present at all.

I’ve been talking with someone else on these lists about this issue and we have sent in reports to FS. It is a JAWS bug that Freedom Scientific techs have now susccessfully replicated. Assuming it’s the same experience, at least. JAWS lags for a few seconds, then appears to work, but no Firefox menus or links will function, and you have to close the program with task manager.
Maybe fixed by jAWS October 2018 update? That’d be nice. Kind of annoying to have a Process Explorer window running all the time ready to restart Firefox.

Getting similar issues. Also frequently in Outlook 2016. So much to the point where it drove me off of my tower and I’m working mainly off of my laptop. Probably with more time, I’ll try to play around with the two to see if there are any extra processes, etc, but I’m genrealy good about that sort of thing. Anyway, The laggy, crashing and over all crappy Jaws performance I’ve been experiencing on my Dell tower for the past couple of weeks I so far haven’t experienced on my HP Envy laptop. Both PCs have I core 7 processors, but the tower has 8 GB or ram. Where as the laptop’s got 16. The issues on the tower have become so significant and sudden that I can’t think that it suddenly has to do with the ram. Running Windows 10, latest JFW 2018, current Firefox/Chrome etc on both machines. So who knows…

I’m noticing it, too, and one site, radio.com, crashes firefox, and I have to kill it with Task Manager.

I’m wondering if anybody else is having this problem. I’m running Firefox version 62, latest version of JFW, and Windows 10. I’ll be arrowing down through a web page, and all of a sudden JAWS just stops reading. Sometimes it comes back after a few seconds, but not always. I especially notice it when reading the Boston Globe in NFB Newsline on the web.
Also when I’m using Google Docs, I’m noticing an irritating lag when I hit up or down arrow in a document.
Any thoughts on how to remedy this?
