[Trainer-Talk] Firefox extension and Jaws updates to make Firefox and Edge work beautifully

[Jim McCarthy]

So I am on this list, not because I do lots of AT training but because the topics are of interest. I do run a state AT act program and am blind. All that to say that my Firefox updates automatically and I probably want to turn off auto-updating or I'll be receiving a Firefox version I will find troublesome. Anyone know how to turn off that feature or where I might look to do so? All help is much appreciated.

I've found that heading navigation in particular with NVDA can be flakey, and that very large web pages load very very slowly. Not sure what the video says, since there are no captions. It seems like Chrome is now also a viable option. The good news about ESR is that it will work with webvisum still.

A system with super-fast specs, an SSD and lots of RAM will present some odd focus management issues but things may function surprisingly well. Slower machines with lower specs may not perform as well. I haven't seen the entire video but I'm wondering where Edge comes into play here.
