Tried to send this to Brad Martin off list. Couldn't get the insert 11 to pull up the to list as was recently discussed in postings. So bear with me. To turn off Hardware Acceleration. Followed the steps in FF but couldn't find the general tab. Did I miss something or is there a FF trick to get to the general tab.

Subject: Re: Mozilla Firefox Accessibility Paul, As one of the people who helped to create the original Program Share for the IAAIS, I know a bit about it, although the new and improved version does not have my hand in it. I would think IE would work with it, although IE 11 has issues with a lot of sites. Firefox should be a snap. Here are a couple of things to consider. 1. By default, Firefox will always save your downloads into the downloads folder on your computer without prompting you for a save as location. The advantage of this is that you will always know where your files went when you grab them from the share. If you would like to be prompted where to save the files you download from the share, consider going to Tools, Options, and under the General options (General in the combo box), tab until you hear "downloads" and select the radio button to be prompted where to save the file. 2. If you like to make use of the JAWS cursor while on the Internet, you will want to disable hardware acceleration. Again, Tools, Options, Select Advanced from the combo Box, and then on the General Tab, uncheck "Use Hardware Acceleration when available". Hope that helps, Brad Martin [email protected] On 5/29/2014 1:15 PM, Paul Stebbins via Jfw wrote: > Hello, I just installed the latest version of Mozilla Firefox on my > computer, at work.
