Hi Michael

I have a related question that you might look into when looking into the reason why tooltips do not speak when they pop up in Firefox.

In IE, when the mouse is moved over an object with just an Alt Tag, the Alt tag text pops up and WE speaks the text. Firefox, apparently by design because Alt Tags are really not supposed to pop up, does not pop up the Alt Tags. There appear to be several Firefox addins that will cause the Alt Tags to pop up as they do in IE. (In the addins page search for "popup Alt tags.)

Which of these addins will pop up Alt Tags that WE will speak?

Thanks

Jim Roberts

I cannot get this to happen when I use Firefox V3. In both cases I have speak tooltips set to = Auto and am using the physical mouse with Browse Mode off.


The picture at the top of the GW Micro home page can be used as an example. Move the mouse over the picture using IE and a tooltip pops up and WE speaks "GW Micro unleashing the power of your mind's eye." Try the same thing using Firefox and the tooltip pops up but WE remains silent.

I am using Beta 1 on XP.

How can I get the tooltips to speak in Firefox?
