Hi, Gerald. When I went to the site you gave in this link, Firefox blocked
the file, and told me that
FirefoxPortable_35.0_English.paf.exe
may contain a virus or other malicious software. Did you get this
announcement?
Thank you.

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.

Hi Gerald,
I didn’t know that you could have multiple versions of Firefox installed.
Where would I find the version 35? I think if I can find an earlier
version, I’ll simply uninstall version 40.
Cheers,
Russell

Yes, I have noticed the same behavior with Firefox 40, and it seems to
crash or freeze more frequently than previous versions. I'm so fed up
with Firefox 40 that I installed the portable version of Firefox 35,
which seems to be more stable andJAWS friendly. Keep in mind that unlike
IE, you can have multiple versions of Firefox on your PC simultaneously.

I am finding that Firefox 40 keeps switching from one open tab to another
without me doing anything but reading a page. It’s quite annoying. It
also takes a very long time to load some web pages.
Is anyone else finding Firefox switching tabs on its own?
Thanks,
Russell

to restart. Control-l let me type one web address, but when I tried
control-l for another address, it wouldn't work.

Subject: Firefox 40 question
Hello, everyone.
Typically, with Firefox, I use the control L command, after which I can
paste a web site address into the edit box, and hit enter. I'm then
able to
open The web site from that point.
However, I'm finding that the control L command no longer works with
Firefox 40.
Has anyone noticed this change, and are there good work-arounds?
I have gotten to the point where I actually prefer Firefox to Internet
Explorer for accessing and navigating web sites, so this apparent change
in
Firefox behavior is somewhat disconcerting.
I'm using Jaws 16 and Windows 7 here.
Thank you.
