No, the mouse keys don’t work in Firefox in beta 2, but I decided it was easier to just describe things once instead of basically saying the same thing twice with just that difference noted.

It's happening to me in IE eleven. Does the Window-Eyes mouse even work in Firefox thirty four? I notice that when IE first launches, Window-Eyes says, "Internet Explorer. Custom control." Sometimes, when Browse mode doesn't engage, I can use the reclass hot key. When the dialog opens, The original class is Internet Explorer_Server and the window style is 56,000,000, whatever that means. The way I've been getting around these Browse mode hangups is to refresh, redraw, put focus in the address bar and hit enter, and, if all else fails, to relaunch WE. Since I was, I thought, the only one with this problem, I was just going to wait for the WE release and install it fresh. As for Firefox. When I installed version thirty four, FF would often crash at launch. IE and Window-Eyes tangled once last week and Window-Eyes generated an error report, which I sent. I hope it helped.

All of this is happening on a Windows 7 64-bit PC. The browsers are the latest versions of IE and Firefox. Since installing the first beta, I can no longer get to the content window of Firefox or Internet Explorer by hitting F6, Tabbing or clicking on something in the displayed page with the mouse cursor. The browser just seems frozen until I hit F5. A refresh will get things back to normal. This not only happens when going to a new page, but will often happen if I leave the browser session by alt tabbing to another application or session of the browser. I have no idea what is causing this, it just spontaneously began when I installed the beta. Since I multitask pretty much constantly when on the computer, this issue is causing me a lot of annoyance. I thought I should report it so that perhaps someone else might be able to reproduce the error so I can find out if this is really a bug, or just something happening with my install.
