[nfbcs] JAWS Now Supports Firefox Again

Well pardon me, the issue with gmail and focus issues when selecting and
deleting messages seems to be fixed, so I spoke too soon on that one.  I
might have been a little unfair below towards Google, as honestly there are
issues with the experience using NVDA in both browsers.  It just seems like
whenever I'm experiencing a problem in Chrome, I can go to Firefox and it
works smoothly.  I think a few of the issues I am experiencing might be
specific to NVDA, such as stopping say all and finding my focus way farther
down the document than where it should be, and random jumping around the
page when arrowing through.  I'd say these manifested themselves in the last
year or so; they've not always been a problem.

Not countering your assertion, but curious about it: I've been using Chrome
almost exclusively with both JAWS and NVDA for a month or two without
serious issue, but there's probably a lot I don't bump into on an average
day of surfing. What sorts of problems have you seen or learned of with
Chrome and NVDA?

No, you're right about Chrome; it works most of the time but still has some
issues.  You'd think that they would be fixed by now but Google has a habit
of introducing accessibility regressions every time they make something
actually work right.  Not to mention that using gmail, its own product, with
Chrome and NVDA is less than viable.

Hello Liz,

Edge sort of works under JAWS Version 2018.1803.24.  However, when I use
Edge and JAWS, Edge is slow, and my alt+tab window shifting is slowed down.
For a while, I went back to Internet Explorer.  I have problems with the
Chrome browser's ability to work with buttons, especially on Chase and Wells
Fargo web sites.

Each persons experience may be different from my experiences.

Hi everyone,

I am curious if anyone is using Microsoft Edge? I currently have Google
Chrome set as my default, and have looked at the Edge browser, but I haven't
used it yet.

Liz

I used to be a devoted firefox user, but after this I switched completely to
google chrome a few weeks ago. Anyone else?

I have downgraded to the Firefox ESr. Firefox recommends that.
