This is tempting. But I believe Mozilla enhances security support with each version, so by working with an older version, do we risk exposure to online nastiness?

Cc: Gerald Levy Subject: Re: Firefox 40 question You can download Firefox 35 portable and other earlier versions of Firefox from the following web site. Just download the version you want and save it someplace that is easy to find. Because this is a portable version, it does not install permenantly on your PC like the full version, but runs as a .exe file. You can pin the .exe file to the start menu so that you can easily launch it . I find Firefox 35 to be much more stable and JAWS friendly than FF 40. Mozilla keeps tinkering with Firefox to the detriment of screen reader users like us. ttp://portable-firefox.soft32.com/old-version/ Gerald -----Original Message----- From: Russell Solowoniuk via Jfw Sent: Tuesday, September 01, 2015 10:59 PM To: The Jaws for Windows support list.

I think if I can find an earlier version, I’ll simply uninstall version 40.
