Hey Wayne. You should get the Firefox 52 ESR release, if you want to keep using JAWS with Firefox. ESR stands for "extended support release". It has all the features of Firefox 52, with the current security updates. Definitely a better idea than stopping updates. And it will work with JFW, hopefully, until Freedom Scientific gets their act together and makes their screen-reader work with Firefox. I only say this because the new version, version 58, works great with nVDA, and even the landmark first "Quantum" 57 works with that screen-reader as well, though some folks reported issues.
As for the passwords, there is a way to turn this prompt off in settings, but I can't seem to find it at the moment. Search around and you will hopefully come across it. When the password prompt appears, you can tab to "don't save", and the message will disappear. There may be an alt-key combination for this, but I don't know what it is. Someone on the list might, or I'll come back here tomorrow when it's not some ridiculous hour. *grin* -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of wayne smith Sent: February 20, 2018 3:22 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] Firefox updates/accessibility Hello all- I am finding more and more websites that do not work well or, in some cases, at all with IE 11. I have Firefox on my computers but I have stopped automatic updates because people on this list warned that the more recent updates are not accessible. I am now getting warnings that there are security risks in not updating. Your thoughts would be appreciated. Related to Firefox again, when I enter passwords using FF I get this annoying announcement, "Do you want to have Firefox save this password?" How do I say no?
