Hi Adrian, After pressing CTRL+T to open a new tab, press INSERT+A (INSERT even on laptop keyboard layout) to check the address bar. If it reads about:newtab, it is likely that JAWS turned virtual cursor on even when focus is on the address bar, so press SHIFT+TAB and then TAB again to see if focus is properly set to the address bar. If the address bar have another URL, a program on your computer changed Firefox (and probably other browsers as well) settings such as new tab URL, home page and default search engine to show you ads. In this case, you should delete any unwanted toolbar or other extensions and then reset these Firefox settings.
Hope it helps! -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Adrian Spratt Sent: Sunday, April 8, 2018 6:26 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Opening a second window in Firefox Thanks, Jim. That's the answer to the question I asked. But now, when I open a new tab, instead of getting just a edit field for the URL, I get a lot of information through which I need to arrow up and down. Is that your experience, too? -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Jim Pursley Sent: Sunday, April 08, 2018 4:33 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Opening a second window in Firefox Hi, Adrian.
