Or whatever it's called. My computer stats are:

 

WE 9.0 beta 2.

Win 7 home premium 64 bit edition all pertinent updates.

Firefox 34.

 

Now that I can use IE 11 with the same facility as Firefox (Thank you, Ai
Squared--formerly GW Micro.), I wanted to export my bookmarks from FF to IE.
So, I

 

Launched Firefox 34.

Pressed the WE bypass hot key (Mine is not the factory key, so never mind
about that.).

Pressed Control-Shift-B to open the bookmarks dialog.

 

The bookmarks dialog opened and I could tab around, but the import and
export control is only accessible with the WE mouse. I set the mouse
boundary rotor to full screen and couldn't find the bookmarks dialog. I had
thought the problem might be that direct to d and layers stuff mentioned in
the GW Micro KB article, so I went into about:config. After I pressed the
"I'll be careful, I promise button," WE 9 crashed--badly. Nothing
talked--not even NVDA. I had to give the index finger of death to the
computer and restart. It did that three times. The fourth time, I used NVDA
to check my about:config settings and both FF configuration settings are
already set according to the GW KB article, so that isn't the problem.

 

In the end, I had to use NVDA and blind luck to find the bookmarks import
and export control, and everything was good from there. By the way. I
believe Alt-I activates the import and export drop down menu.

 

This lack of accessibility in Firefox isn't a huge deal to me personally
because I always liked IE better anyway, but since we're testing a beta,
it's worth looking into. I guess.
