Re: Apps alternative combo
Dean Martineau
The application key is highly useful. It is the equivalent of clicking the right mouse button, it offers you a context menu of things you can do where you are. Most people do not use it enough. On desktop computers it is the key to the left of the right-hand control key. I would try to avoid buying a laptop that is devoid of this key, but some are. You can get the same result with shift+f10, and you can reassign keys with programs such as KeyTweak to give a deprived laptop an application key.

Keep Firefox From Updating
1. Open Firefox. 2. Press ALT plus T, then O for Options. 3. TAB about 27 times, find Updates, and Arrow down to “Never Check For Updates”. 4. Uncheck the box that says “Use A Background Service To Update Firefox”. 5. Go to Control Panel>Programs And Features, and uninstall Mozilla Maintenance Service. 6. Go to Program Files (if 64-bit) or to Program Files (x86) (if 32-bit). 7. Open the Mozilla Firefox folder, and delete the files named “updater.exe” and “updater.ini”. 8. Now Firefox cannot update automatically.

Hey Bill.
Thanks for providing those links, but, unless I’m wrong, once installed, those Firefox 52 versions will try to update to 60, which is the version the ESR branch is currently on. This was what we were warned about last year; we could continue to use ESR until September of 2018, at which point it would also be switched to Quantum. This has now happened to me.
From: main@jfw.groups.io <main@jfw.groups.io> On Behalf Of Bill White
Hi, Marty. In order for you to use JAWS with Firefox 60 and up, you need the latest version of JAWS, which is JAWS 2018. JAWS 16, 17, and 18 are incompatible with Firefox 60 and up. These versions of Firefox are called Quantum. They contain a version of Sandbox which causes Firefox not to be able to react with JAWS versions earlier than 2018. They had to do some intensive reworking of JAWS to get it to function properly with the newer versions of Firefox. In order for you to use Firefox with JAWS 18, you would need to install an earlier version of Firefox ESR. I will provide a couple of links to the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Firefox ESR in case you wish to downgrade your version of Firefox.

i thank you all for your suggestions, but this is silly. I’m not
paying another $1,000 for a JFW version just to get Firefox to work. There

So the only reasonable choice really seems to be, stop using firefox, or use NVDA.
Or pay for another JAWS upgrade of course. Which I actually just did. Can’t say it was just for the sake of Firefox (there are other browsers after all) but it definitely helped give me a little push.

If you are using the ESR version of Firefox, and you don’t turn off the updates, it will eventually update to version 60 ESR, and that one won’t work unless you have JAWS 2018.

But, if you do that, I don’t think you’ll receive security and maintenance updates either.

I personally had mine set to ask me to update, but I never deferred the updates for too long for this reason.

Hi, Marty. Can you do the following keystroke, and report back which version of Firefox is installed. It sounds like it is updating to Version 60, and not staying with Version 52. Try the following keystroke when firefox is open:

Re: VPN and JAWS
Bill White
I’ll give you one example of how a VPN can be useful. Youtube has some programs that can only be viewed in Europe, or the originating country. Through the use of a VPN, you can fake your browser into telling the site you are going to that you are from another country, thus, you could watch Youtube videos not accessible to people in the United States.
Incidentally, this is one way people have started Facebook accounts, and made it look like they were from the U.S. when in fact, they were not.

Hi, Don. It updates the minute it installs. There is often not enough time to go to automatic updates and turn them off before firefox is updated to version 60.

Hey Bill.
Thanks for providing those links, but, unless I’m wrong, once installed, those Firefox 52 versions will try to update to 60, which is the version the ESR branch is currently on. This was what we were warned about last year; we could continue to use ESR until September of 2018, at which point it would also be switched to Quantum. This has now happened to me.

Hi, Marty. In order for you to use JAWS with Firefox 60 and up, you need the latest version of JAWS, which is JAWS 2018. JAWS 16, 17, and 18 are incompatible with Firefox 60 and up. These versions of Firefox are called Quantum. They contain a version of Sandbox which causes Firefox not to be able to react with JAWS versions earlier than 2018. They had to do some intensive reworking of JAWS to get it to function properly with the newer versions of Firefox. In order for you to use Firefox with JAWS 18, you would need to install an earlier version of Firefox ESR. I will provide a couple of links to the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Firefox ESR in case you wish to downgrade your version of Firefox.

HI, I am new to this group and am having a similar issue with JAWS and Firefox. When I open Firefox, I get a message saying that Tabs are incompatible with my adaptive software or my version of Firefox. I have installed JFW 18 and Firefox 62. There is no problem using NVDA and Firefox. What is going on here? Is it a Windows problem? I am still running Windows 7. Love in Christ

Hi. Another thing I have found is that, if you uninstall Firefox, old profiles are left behind. So, I had to go into

HI All,
I was wondering if you have noticed with firefox 61, and now 62 that jfw locks up or I guess firefox locks up all of the time, it happens randomly, but it happens so much that I made chrome my default web browser.
Has anyone experienced this?

Re: firefox w/ latest jfw 2018.1808

I know.
So the only reasonable choice really seems to be, stop using firefox, or use NVDA.
Or pay for another JAWS upgrade of course. Which I actually just did. Can’t say it was just for the sake of Firefox (there are other browsers after all) but it definitely helped give me a little push.

If you are using the ESR version of Firefox, and you don’t turn off the updates, it will eventually update to version 60 ESR, and that one won’t work unless you have JAWS 2018.

But, if you do that, I don’t think you’ll receive security and maintenance updates either.

I personally had mine set to ask me to update, but I never deferred the updates for too long for this reason.
