What are some of the issues that Mozilla needs to improve that will help access with Window-Eyes? Also, I used 6.1 with Firefox 3 for a long time and it seems to work about the same as 7.0 except for that in 7.0 the bookmarks dialog works.

hello Robert. The fact that Window-Eyes 6.1 works much less than well with FireFox 3 should be enough. Also, some of the issues left between Window-Eyes 7 and FireFox 3 are due to things FireFox still needs to address. The support will get better, however I cannot reproduce the issues you are having with the exception of having to turn off and on browse mode from time to time when I get the top and bottom empty browse mode buffer. This only happens on occasion for me however.

Hello all,

I do not see how WE 7 has improved access to Firefox 3. Yesterday, I had browse mode turn off on me three times while reading a document. Also, when pages are finished loading and it says done at the bottom of the window, nothing is in the browse mode buffer - I press up and down arrows and it says "top" "bottom"; I do a screen refresh to solve this problem. When downloading a file, the box that pops up asking where to save the file does not get focus - I must alt+tab to it. That new info bar thing is not easy to find. You may say to press the letter associated with the option in the info bar as soon as it is read but the point of this bar is to provide access any time on the web page so that one may choose, for instance, to save their log in password any time while they are reading the page. I get around this by turning off browse mode and shift+tabbing but this is highly inconvenient.

conclusion: Firefox 3 is supposed to improve accessibility? Hello? At least we're able to access the bookmarks dialog now!

Thanks,
Robby
