bbHi Bryce:
The first thing you have to do when you get to the config page is you
have to activate the I Promise button, which tells Firefox that you
won't screw something up. Then you tab to a list of options, then you
set the options that were discribed in the message that was sent
earlier.
The problem is that, according to some list members who have tried it,
this method does not work in Windows 8.1 and Windows 10.

Hi,
Turn off autoload of browse mode with insert-a.
Turn off browse mode with control-shift-a.
Press control-l and type about:config and press enter.

Hi Many:
How were you able to get Firefox to go into About:config mode?

Hi,
Finally WE9.3 reads the screen with the numpad in firefox and
Thunderbird.
I no longer need to use firefox 3.0.
However, I needed sighted help to get this accomplished.
WE9.3 would crash firefox when entering
about:config
in the address edit box.
I am using windows 7 with drivers and software and windows os
up to date.
Many thanks,
Manny

This surprises me John because you are using the same OS as I am. Try
using the latest version of WE
Apart from this, the only thing I can suggest is to go back into
Firefox and check the settings again.
I am hoping to hear from someone who has tried it under W10.
Cheers
Neville.

Neville, I tried these steps and no go. I'm running Windows 7, 32 bit
and WE 9.1. With WE running, about:config wouldn't respond. I had to
exit WE and use NVDA to accomplish the steps. But, no go.

Hi Kevin,
Following is a copy of a message I sent to the list a week or two ago
regarding gaining access to the screen with the mouse while using
Firefox and Thunderbird.
The first two modifications had been done previously on my system but
with no improvement. It seems the third change makes the difference.
Prior to the modifications, my W7 system suffered frequent Thunderbird
crashes but since the changes, no chrashes have been experienced.
I would like to know if anyone using W10 has tried the below
modifications and particullarly the results or lack of same.

Hi Listers,
Using: W7 HP 32 bit, latest versions of WE, Firefox and Thunderbird
Use the three steps below to make both Firefox and Thunderbird
accessible with the mouse just like they used to be. I was able to
use WE to make the necessary changes in Thunderbird but needed
sighted assistance for Firefox. For some reason WE kept loosing
speech in the case of Firefox but maybe NVDA would work.
A similar method has been around for a while but never had any success
with it but these three steps really work. In short, I was amazed
with the change in mouse accessibility the alterations made.
Hopefully, someone can come up with a method to make Chrome mouse
accessible as well.
Unfortunately it is not known for sure whether this technique will
work as well under W8 and W10 as it does under W7 32 and 64 bit. If
you do try it under W8 or W10, please inform the list of your results.
i.e. Either positive or negative.
HTH
Neville.
This is the three steps needed to fix the mouse cursor problem.
The third step is the new one. You do have to arrow down many times
to find it. A lot do seem to sound the same, so be careful you get
the correct one to change.

1. Open the Configuration Editor. In Firefox, enter
about:config
in the address bar. In Thunderbird, go to the Tools menu and navigate
to Options, Advanced, General, then Config Editor.
2. Once in the Configuration editor, press TAB until you are in the
list of options.
3. Pressing UP or DOWN ARROW will move you between options or typing
the first few letters of an option's name will move you to a specific
option in the
list.
the following are entries to search for:
gfx.direct2d.disabled
if the boolean value is set to false, press the enter key to toggle
the
value to true.
layers.acceleration.disabled
if the boolean value is set to false, press the enter key to toggle
the
value to true.
layers.offmainthreadcomposition.enabled
if the boolean value is set to true, press the enter key to toggle the
value to false.
press control+w to close the configuration window.
restart Thunderbird/Firefox.
