Hi David, If you're a bit courageous, here's a message thread on the Mozilla site with some solutions to this problem:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1003777 I hope this helps, Rod -----Original Message----- From: Talk [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ayers, David (ITCS) via Talk Sent: October 9, 2015 8:03 AM To: Window-Eyes Discussion List ([email protected]) <[email protected]> Subject: RE: Firefox Automatically Updating again Thanks. I understand the security risks. However, I need to use the WE mouse for certain web apps. I have tried accessing my apps with the newest version of Firefox, but cannot access what I need to do my job without the mouse keys. Thanks, David Ayers -----Original Message----- From: Talk [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Rick Jarvis via Talk Sent: Thursday, October 08, 2015 7:16 PM To: net bat; Window-Eyes Discussion List Subject: Re: Firefox Automatically Updating again I think Net Bat is right I have let fire fox update and have had very little problems with navigation or other things. Sure I can't use the numeric keypad to move the mouse around in fire fox but I can do everything else by using the keyboard, and the most important part is that they revise their security in each upgrade. hth Rick On 10/8/2015 3:07 PM, net bat via Talk wrote: > your doing yourself a disservice by not updateing. > you are leaveing yourself wide opened to hack attacks because the only > way you are going to get any security updates is to upgrade firefox when > it comes out. > > -----Original Message----- From: Ayers, David (ITCS) via Talk > Sent: Thursday, October 08, 2015 12:39 PM > To: Window-Eyes Discussion List ([email protected]) > Subject: Firefox Automatically Updating again > > Hello, > > I had Firefox 30.0 installed for quite a while now without any updates. > Yesterday, I re-booted my computer andFirefox updated to version 41.0. > I un-installed 41.0 and re-installed 30.0.
