Hi Tom,
You are correct. I just tried it with FF 52 and Jaws 16 and I could only
access settings in the General section. I know that this was not the case
with earlier versions of FF. I then shutdown Jaws and fired up NVDA--I was
able to get to all settings, including the hardware acceleration setting.
So, you might want to give NVDA a try, in order to get that setting changed.

Hello, everyone.
I have just updated to Firefox 52, and am trying to get to the hardware
acceleration button to turn it off, since I understand this allows the
Jaws
cursor to work better.
However, I can't ghet to the hardware acceleration function using the
instructions I have. Here are those insttructions:
"You can get to the hardware acceleration function with the options
screen, under the tools item in the menu bar. Find advanced
settings/general
and it will be there. Again, you want to turn hardware acceleration off."
I can get to the options screen, but can't navigate to advanced
settings/general as I had been able to do earlier.
I'm using Windows 7 and Jaws 18 here.
