Moderated Firefox Is Not Responding

Annabelle Susan Morison
This is rather
strange, since I can run it fine on this machine with Windows XP, same version
(52.6.0), but I can't seem to run it on my Windows 7 machine since February 14
of this year. Before then, it was working fine. When I reinstall it, it
automatically tries updating to Firefox 60, and I don't understand why, because
I've turned off updates to Firefox. Has anyone else had this happen to
them? |

Netbat, doesn't the Internet have to be disconnected before starting the installation and disabling the update setting?

Yeah,
Windows 7 here, mine reset itself and made me go
into FireFox's safe mode to get it back, and I had a hell of a time getting the
settings like I had them with my home page. Thankfully my choice of home
page has a button to set it as the default home page, because FF would not do it
any more.
It kept wanting me to use the choice of search
engines it offered me.

I'm using version 68.6.0 (32-bit) of the Firefox Extended Support Release which came out when JAWS was first having issues with the initial Firefox Quantum release. I'm still running Windows 7 but this version of Firefox works well with Fusion 2020.

there is control shift b, this one closes the list as soon as you press escape. alt b. this one does not show all the bookmark links. control i opens the entire list of links and you have the option to search the entire list. it stays opened until you close it again with control i. but as i said both jaws and window eyes will hang when you open the bookmark list unless you turn off the virtual cursor first. or browse mode for window eyes. also the virtual cursor will turn back on every time you leave the bookmark list and will hang again when you press f6 to put focus back on the list. -----Original Message-----

Another feature about FF and Chrome is that you can just do control + L and type in part of the web page and if you've been there, it takes you there.

I probably type in more than I need to, but daily I check the Nebraska lottery page, and that site is: http://www.nelottery.com/ but if I do ctrl + L and type in only the letters nelott it takes me there. Glenn ----- Original Message -----
