Hey. While I don't know precisely what is going on, I don't think it's entirely just to say that Mozilla has decided that accessibility is unimportant. In fact, Firefox 57 does work fairly well, right now, with even the previous (IE, not just released) version of NVDA. It's not perfect, but they have promised that v58 will be better, and I see no reason to doubt them on that. In the meantime, we can keep using the ESR version, which will continue to be supported, and works great with the screen-reader of your choice. I don't exactly know why NVDA is ahead of JAWS in this matter of Firefox 57/Quantum, , but I've yet to hear from anyone using JAWS 2018 and maybe it works better there? I have JAWS 18, and part of the reason I've been switching more and more to NVDA lately is that I'm not really in any position to buy a JAWS upgrade at this time. Still going to hang on to both though.

Since MS is no longer developing IE I think VFO is not going to keep supporting it. Either that or they are very lazy about fixing the hang issue with IE since it has been going on for a couple of years now. I dont like the way things are going for us. firefox has decided blind accessibility is not important and Edge is not supported by Jaws very well and IE is getting left behind that leaves us with Chrome... Good for Google not so good for us... On 12/14/2017 5:31 PM, Judy Jones wrote: > Hello again, > > > > Revisiting an old question.
