Re: Assigning symbol short cut key in Word
Something else is using what are commonly called ALT codes, and they can be very handy for certain "odd symbols" that you use frequently, though it does require using the number pad as the numeric entry.
See: https://fsymbols.com/keyboard/windows/alt-codes/list/ (I do not know whether this page is accessible as far as what will be read for the table, as it shows the digit(s) you need to type while ALT is held down, using the number pad, next to the actual symbol it would produce. There are scads of these and even I don't know how each one of those characters would be announced. But, for one example, if you are in MS-Word and want to insert the degree symbol, make sure that you're in the position where you want it and that number lock for the number pad is ON before you start the sequence - hold down ALT and while doing so enter 0176 on the number pad. Also see: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/insert-ascii-or-unicode-character-codes-in-word-e97306f7-00c1-490d-9920-c924ca443f87 -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 2004, Build 19041 The purpose of education is not to validate ignorance but to overcome it.

Re: JAWS 2020 August Release: Frequent Crashes With Firefox 80
JM Casey
Lol…yeah, meanwhile it seems like most NVDA users don’t have these problems..I wonder why that is? Coincidence? Like I said though, Firefox 8 seems stable at the moment on my desktop here, which at least is running JAWS still half the time or more (it’s an older version, too…)

Hi,
I spoke with someone at Freedom Scientific (or whatever they call it now) and she said they are well aware of Firefox crashing. She didn’t go into details but I gathered they don’t think it is a JAWS problem but rather something with Firefox. But again, she didn’t say that in so many words.

With a Word document open press, Insert + 4, on the number row
to open the symbols list, navigate using your arrow keys to the symbol you want
and press enter to insert this symbol into the document. Note: Make
sure you're at the exact spot in the document where you want the symbol inserted
when doing this.
Take care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool. Go dodgers!

I endorse George’s recommendation of Schwab. Some years ago, they did considerable work on accessibility with me and another JAWS user, and they remain responsive. Another JAWS user is an advocate of Fidelity. As a broker himself, he has some influence over Fidelity’s practices. You may know that e-Trade is in the process of being purchased by Morgan Stanley. I’m not sure how much priority accessibility will receive during a pending acquisition. I’ve had accessibility issues with Vanguard in the past, but I haven’t been on that website for a long time.

Well, I bother with firefox because of the facebook container plugin, and I like the way menus work much better than chrome. Besides that, before the most recent update of Jaws, chrome and chromium-based edge would crash on my local news station kmiz.com website. FF80 is purring like a kitten here with the latest release of jaws.

Re: JAWS 2020 August Release: Frequent Crashes With Firefox 80

If one thing can be said for the complexity of the modern computing environment experience, it’s that no experiences appear to be universal – running Firefox 80 and happy to report not a single crash yet. I do still use Chrome also and like it for some things, but Firefox is still my first choice. Usually either one of them will do the trick. I appreciate Chrome for speed and how nicely it works with, for instance, youtube (not surprising as that’s also a google product).
There was a problem with version 78 or so I believe, but Mozilla does seem to be pretty quick to fix issues on their end when they emerge.

Yes, there is a work around. It's called Google Chrome. To be perfectly blunt, I don't understand why anyone still bothers with Firefox. It is a screwed up mess, constantly crashes, and seems to become less accessible with each successive release. And most blind-friendly extensions like Webvisum and Navigational Sounds no longer work. Mozilla betrayed its blind users by promising a new era in accessibility when they hired one of the developers of NVDA four years ago, but this has not materialized. Whatever happened to this guy? Is he still with Mozilla? Or did he get laid off along with 250 other employees?

Gerald why the hell you got to be so damn negative? Marko Z is

still very much accessible. Its our chose what browser we use. I
like both FF and Edge. Edge is a speed demon as far as loading
pages. I know FF has had issues with JFW. If you'd like, but I
doubt you will take your issues up with the FF DEVS at Mozilla.

Re: Deleting browsing data in Google Chrome
I've never had this happen with the Google Chrome browser, nor seen it reported elsewhere. If you've done a complete uninstall and reinstall, and that has not fixed the issue, the only thing I could recommend is using something like Revo Uninstaller, after having done the regular uninstall for Chrome, then trying to install again.
These days, there are so many Chromium-based browsers that if you like Chrome you can transition to virtually any of them without even noticing you have. New Edge and Brave are both good options, and there are others. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 2004, Build 19041 The purpose of education is not to validate ignorance but to overcome it.
