Firefox will not open this website (it is my personal photography website.) I'm using Windows 7 64 bit. Seemingly, every other website, but this one will open using Firefox. I have always been able, to use Microsoft's browser, to open this website, except, now, they no longer support W7/64. Thanks, for any help, David Johnson

I’ve been using Firefox with a screen reader, and while it works for most basic browsing, I’ve noticed some issues with certain sites. For example, form fields aren’t always announced properly, and sometimes navigation landmarks are skipped. When I test the same pages in Chrome, the experience feels smoother.

I’d like to keep using Firefox, so I’m wondering — is there something I can adjust in my settings to improve screen reader support? Or is this more of a compatibility issue that needs to be reported as a bug?

If others here use screen readers with Firefox, I’d love to know what has worked for you. Are there specific add-ons, preferences, or troubleshooting steps that make accessibility better?

Thanks in advance for any guidance.

'I am posting this for a third time, because I am absolutely sure it is caused by the latest Firefox update.

I am typing this into Notepad and copy/pasting it to the text box on the site.

I am legally blind, and I am very dependant on the Windows Magnifier. Yesterday I took the latest Firefox update and after installing it, the Windows Magnifier will no longer follow the text cursor on web pages rendered in Firefox. It will follow typing in the address bar and the search bar on the task bar, but it will not on web pages rendered in Firefox.

I do not have this problem with Chrome or Librewolf.

I had made two earlier posts with no response from Support. I have been trying desperately to figure out what waws going on as I was moving links, bookmarks & passwords into Librewolf.

I tried to refresh Firefox. It didn't work. I tried safe mode. It didn't work. I even tried a different profile. It didn't work. I even tired uninstall & reinstall Firefox. It didn't work.

I even called the Microsoft Disability desk and had them check my magnifier settings, and they are fine, and yet even if I toggled them on & of--it still didn't work.

So finally, out of desperation, I did the dreaded System Restore.

I rolled it back to August 18th and sat and waited.

And though I had to relog into Firefox--it worked!

and i have been surfing happily all evening until I loaded the Spotify player page and it wouldn't play. Okay this was weird because I had been using it all week and suddenly it wouldn't play. I did a search, and apparently it wasn't just me. I opened the About Firefox and there it was--the dreaded update.

Believe me, I really didn't want to restaret the browser, but it was doomed to happen anyway.

And guess what--the Windows Magnifier view won't follow the text cursor in web pages rendered in Firefox--Again!

The Spotify player plays again but.....

If you don't believe me, open the Windows Magnifier, dock it on your task bar, and try to type into a web page. The view just goes cockeyed.

So yes, the update has a bug. And for all the people who are visually handicapped and use the Windows Magnifier we are cursing you right now and hoping for a quick fix before we all have to move to Chrome.

You sighted people have no idea how frustrating this is.

At least I'm glad it's not my PC.

But if it doesn't get fixed, I"m absolutely done with this browser. It is now unusable for people with visual disabilities.

Good luck.

Thank you. '

Hi there,

Is there a way to change the keyboard shortcut for the Bookmarks Library back to Ctrl-Shift-B?

I tried the old solution offered here (config.js / config-prefs.js), but it no longer seems to work in FF 131: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1318541

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

The main screen (desktop) there were 4 rows of bookmarks connecting me (user) with the websites that are frequently connected. Recently after restarting the desktop computer, those shortcut bookmarks no longer display. Plus I'm unable to connect to the record of bookmarks previously saved using the star icon. (I hope this is a descriptive explanation to elicit assistance in this matter) [edited email from public support forum]

When will this madness end?!

It used to be great.

ctrl shift n gets you back the last window

ctrl shift t gets you back the last tab.

Now, ctrl shift t gets you back the last window?!?!?!?!

WHAT ABOUT ALL THE TABS? I have to open history to see where i have been.

BRING IT BACK

I read somewhere that the change was to make firefox more like chrome. So let's cut off our nose to spite our face. This was major feature that DISTINGUISHED Firefox from chrome, and worth migrating to Firefox for!

Please please wake up and smell the coffee. Large corporations spend huge sums to achieve positive differentiation, and you threw it away.

Now that my browser is Firefox I cannot get to my email or anything else on my computer. What must I do??? At one point I was signing in to Mozilla Firefox and it said that account already exists. This is very frustrating for an older geriatric. Please send me instructions to get back where I was. My present email address is [edited from public] @gmail.com.

I need help !!

I am sharing for the last 2 days with NO issues and today suddenly Mozilla will not send people to my site!!!! It's a black friday sale link to my teachable account -- it's valid and offers good info !! HELP!! PLEASE -- I am a small biz Herbalist -- This is devastating to me.

Carol Little [email 1 removed]@gmail.com has been my email for years.

NOW. mozilla is saying it's my OLD email [email 2 removed]@sympatico.ca -- this is not valid now. Not used for over 2 years!!

HELP PLEASE

How do I get rid of the requirement of having ctrl or alt in extension shortcuts? Also overriding firefox shortcuts would be nice.

I've been using my binds/shortcuts in chrome for years and I'm not adding multiple keys to all of them. I really want to use firefox as my only browser but can't because of these stupid restrictions.

Quite often when I try to open the RMB context menu to download image from Google Images it either:

• shows me Developer tools or
• suggests to translate the image or
• redirects me to another page

I don't understand why it's happening at the first place, and how to solve this issue. I have installed Firefox 128.0.3 (64-bit) from Flathub.
