Mike:
How do I make that change? I remember a conversation aboot this topic but
ignored it, lol, now I need the refresher.  Do I just do CTRL l and then
type aboutconfig?

Hi Bill,

Try changing the following in, about:config.

This is the default setting:

layers.offmainthreadcomposition.enabled set Boolean true

This is what I changed it to:
layers.offmainthreadcomposition.enabled set Boolean false

With this line of text highlighted, press the application key to open the
context menu & press the letter, T, to toggle it to true or false.

Hello!

Perhaps you should change this value from "true" to "false" in about config
page:

layers.offmainthreadcomposition.enabled

I use Firefox 34.0 with JAWS 15.0.12085 and the JAWS cursor works quite
well.

Take care.

Subject: JAWS cursor with Firefox


Does anyone know how to allow reading web pages with the JAWS cursor in the 
newest versions of Firefox?

I tried doing what someone advised in the following manner:


Going to the about:config in Firefox,
Change the
"gfx.direct2d.disabled" with a default value of False.
to true
Change the
"layers.acceleration.disabled" with a default value of False.
to true.

However this still only gives me a couple of graphic symbols when trying to 
read with the JAWS cursor.

Is there something else which needs to be changed in the newest versions of 
Firefox to allow reading with the JAWS cursor, or is it now an 
impossibility?

Thank you.
