Hi, Dacia. Firefox updates automatically by default.
It is a little complicated actually to set the options to manually update
instead of automatically updating. If someone wants, though, I can go
through the description of how to get to the updates option, and to change
it to manual updates.

Yes, for example, in firefox 40 flash is avoided is there is a better
alternative. flash is unsafe right now. the privacy options also are
improve in firefox 40, and they are even thinking in improve i more for
next update. some firefox addons are not more supported for old firefox
version, and others are not compatible.
firefox has some crash every time, but works fine in general. far better
than internet explorer, who also has crash from time to time.

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

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.
