Ok, got the 52.4 to download and it replaced FF56 without having to delete it. It also kept all my bookmarks which made me happy. Now the only problem is some of the WE functions are still not working. I still have to use the tab to move through items because the arrow keys do nothing. I checked about browse mode and it says browse mode not available.
I can not use the letter e to move to edit boxes and the same for the letter x to move to check boxes. I am sure the download was done properly because I have sighted help that checked to make sure if my computer was 32 or 64 bit and made sure I had the proper FF download chosen. Any suggestions?

Where do you go to download 52.4? Every place I go says it isn't available.

I was looking in the menus of explorer and I am just wondering if a pop up would also be a tab? There is a command of control w to close tab. But I am afraid to hide otherwise I may lose everything.

I have a couple of web sites I use and I get a lot of pop up windows that are playing video adds. Of course I can't turn down the sound because then I will not be able to hear my screen reader. So any help would b appreciated for when I am home alone and do not have a sighted person to help me.
