main@jfw.groups.io | Now FireFox is causing problems

Kevin Meyers

Hello, Has anyone encountered any problems using FireFox? I press control f to search on the page. Sometimes it works and other times it doesn’t do anything. Plus the time I do anything on the page it will take 30-40 seconds before anything happens. My download speed is 240 MBPS. I started using FireFox since Google has the problem of a menu coming up when pressing enter on a link on the page. Thanks, Kevin

Why control-f? Insert ctrl-f is what you should be using with jaws, ctrl-f just uses the browser to search its page, and that has never worked well with speech.

Gene Warner #101115 This may be a configuration provided by Vispero but with Internet Explorer and now with Edge I have always used control+F and it has always brought up the JAWS search dialog, not the browser's.

K0LNY #101116 You need insert with NVDA, but not Jaws. Just control F works well for me and always has.

Gene Warner #101142 While in Firefox, press alt+H to get the help menu, then look for About and select it. You'll get a tab or dialog with version information.

Adrian Spratt #101146 An even simpler way to find the version number of Firefox on a system is, with Firefox open, to press JAWS key-control-v. This keystroke produces the same information for almost all applications. In case this is of interest, I just opened Firefox. I was told immediately that it was updating and would return momentarily. It did so with V. 104.XXX. But when it returned, I was told an even newer version was available. I had to close Firefox and restart it. Lo and behold, what had become V. 104.XXX had become V. 105.0.1. YOU can tell I hardly ever use this browser. -- My novel Caroline is now available in paperback, Kindle and audiobook versions and, for qualified readers in the US, at the National Library Service/BARD.

Adrian Spratt #101149 Bill, It's a good policy. On the other hand, when JAWS gives users a simple way to do something, I like to take advantage.

JM Casey #101151 Another way, and I am pretty sure that this is where JAWS gets the version information from, is to find the .exe file and check the properties. Under the details tab you will see the version number. JAWS isn't always successful at obtaining this info, and I suppose this makes sense, since this property information is not always recorded where it should be. toggle quoted message Show quoted text -----Original Message----- From: main@jfw.groups.io <main@jfw.groups.io> On Behalf Of Adrian Spratt Sent: October 4, 2022 05:04 PM To: main@jfw.groups.io Subject: Re: Now FireFox is causing problems Bill, It's a good policy. On the other hand, when JAWS gives users a simple way to do something, I like to take advantage. Not only is JAWS key-control-v easy to remember, but as I mentioned, it saves having to remember or look up each application's method for locating its version number. -- My novel Caroline is now available in paperback, Kindle and audiobook versions and, for qualified readers in the US, at the National Library Service/BARD.

JM Casey #101152 I have the same experience,a nd it is definitely some sort of tweak FS made. It does not apply to waterfox for instance nor vivaldi I think.
