I am using win 7 32 home and cannot upgrade tbird. Each time I have
tried running we 8.4 crashes tbird although we continues running.
Firefox updates seem to run just fine.
I have no explanation for this nor does gw/AI.

I am hoping to obtain some sort of a consensus from other Window-eyes
users of recent versions of the Thunderbird mail client. I really
like the flexibility and configurability of Thunderbird. However,
with recent versions, in my case 31.1.2, every time I turn around, I
get a message from the Thunderbird crash reporter that I need to
restart Thunderbird. I should also mention that I am running
Window-eyes 8.4 on a Windows 8.1 desktop. I never had these crashes
with earlier versions of Thunderbird. Also, in recent versions there
are annoying messages such as, but not limited to, "Thunderbird thinks
this message is spam," not verbatim but close. I have decreased these
messages somewhat in the settings but cannot eliminate them entirely.
So I have said all that merely to ask a question or two. Do other
Thunderbird users encounter the same problems I have outlined? If I
return to say version 24.5, will I lose all of my settings?
One other problem I wanted to mention which may be peculiar to this
machine's configuration. When reading a message in Thunderbird which
contained an attachment, I could use the W E mouse keys to locate the
word "save" in order to save that attachment. Now the mouse keys are
almost non functional in Thunderbird. Most of the time, I just get a
ding when attempting to use the mouse keys.
In conclusion, I should also mention that since buying this machine,
Window-eyes performance is less than stellar. For example, I never
hear the UAC messages, just dings when I think that a UAC message may
be on the screen. Also, the Window-eyes mouse keys are now almost
useless to me.
I don't want to be unfair to Window-eyes as I bought the product
shortly after version 1 was released. But I am getting more and more
frustrated.
