Question
What can I do if little or no text is read using the JAWS Cursor in
Thunderbird and Firefox?
Answer
On Windows Vista and Windows 7, Firefox and Thunderbird both use
Direct2D rendering by default. This prevents the JAWS cursor from
detecting information.
Fortunately it is easy to disable this rendering. You need to do it
once for each version of Firefox and Thunderbird you use on your
system. To do
this you need to set two configuration variables to true:
gfx.direct2d.disabled, and layers.acceleration.disabled.
1. Open the Configuration Editor. In Firefox, enter about:config in the
address bar. In Thunderbird, go to the Tools menu and navigate to
Options,
Advanced, General, then Config Editor.
2. Once in the Configuration editor, press TAB until you are in the list
of options.
3. Pressing UP or DOWN ARROW will move you between options or typing the
first few letters of an option's name will move you to a specific
option
in the list. In this case, type gfx and press DOWN ARROW to
gfx.direct2d.disabled.
4. Assuming the option is set to false, press the APPLICATIONS KEY to
open the context menu and choose Toggle. This will change the
option to true.
5. Go through the same process for layers.acceleration.disabled.
6. Close the Configuration Editor and restart Firefox or Thunderbird.
The JAWS cursor should now show content.

Hi Brad:
With JAWS15 and Thunderbird 31.4 the pc cursor seems to work properly,
but I get nothing from the JAWS cursor.

I've been running Thunderbird 24.6.0 at home for a long time now, and
when Thunderbird asks me to upgrade, I politely decline because of
fear of the unknown. Today at work, I installed Thunderbird 31.4.0,
and I'm having some problems. But I'm not sure if I need to turn
something off to make it read nicely with JAWS, or if it's just a new
"feature" of Thunderbird 31. Is anybody having problems navigating
the new Thunderbird versions? On a side note, I'm having some issues
using automated batch files to compose messages in Thunderbird 31,
and I'm not sure if this is related to JAWS or not. That is, I can't
tell if text just isn't being read to me, or if it really isn't
there. So in short, is Thunderbird 31 funky with JAWS 15, or is it me?
Thanks,
