Firefox Community Forum

Hi, I was asked if I could contact you by google disability.

I'm having a huge problem creating a channel on youtube with a live.co.uk account when using NVDA.

I press b until I hear account menu button button submenu, pres enter or space, then arrow down to create channel and press enter. Nothing seams to happen.

Google disability has shown me a couple of video or audio files proving that it can be done, they've even said that they tried creating an account with an outlook account, what live.co.uk is called now from my understanding.

SO I'm really confused as to why they can do it and I can't.

I can't show you with OBS because it messes with my screen readers speech so if you have another way I can show you; please let me know.

I've already tried the following, suggested by disability support: 1. uninstalling and reinstalling firefox.

2. making sure addons are disabled, the only one I left enabled was a volume booster but I doubt that would be the issue.

3. Setting NVDA back to factory settings and disabling all addons.

This has been confusing me on and off for up to a year now.

I'm having issues trying to use the manage colors settings for contrast control. I've been experimenting with changing the boxes for text and background under the "link colors" column, but I don't understand what the second column of boxes on the right side are. I'm actually trying this as a work around for an issue with visited link colors under the use system settings option--they turn purple against a black background so they're almost unreadable. I've asked about this before with no solution. Thanks for any help Karen F,

I own a website that has chat rooms for each of my advisors. As of 2 days ago they are all having issues. I have them login with Firefox but now asking them to use Google Chrome...............low and behold it works

Whats the issue as i believe it started with the latest Firefox update

Thanks so much

hi, i need help with many visual accessibility items such as dark theme (it does not invert in many sites including this one "support", i need the text to be bolder across websites (not just zoom, and settings dont seem to be working across sites, such as gmail), need accessability shortcut and more. i really dont want to add extensions for every thing, is there a more universal mozilla accessability button/settings i am missing? looking forward to hearing from you. -- E

I love FF and I appreciate the intentions behind the new update for quick/custom search engines in Firefox 140, but I can't help but notice that the new UI for custom search engines requires the user to manually click on various buttons and does not allow one to navigate the process via keyboard only. (Unless I'm missing something?) Prior to this UI update, I was able to fully navigate the drop-down and select my custom search engine of choice using only my arrow keys and enter key. Now, the "search with XYZ" button that pops up if you type the site name is only selectable if you click on it, and cannot be highlighted with the arrow keys.

I am not personally disabled in a way that prevents me from using my trackpad, but having to stop what I'm typing and go out of my way to click on various UI elements is a real stymie in terms of flow, ease of use, and efficiency. At least for me.

Is there some kind of secret key combo I can use? Or an about:config setting to enable keyboard navigation in custom searches? Is it a bug? Or simply the removal of a feature?

I hope I will be able to use my arrow keys to select my search engine again in the future— Thanks

You used to be able to set Contrast Control to not override other websites now you can't. What moron made this stupid ass decision that just degrades the quality of a once good browser?

All of a sudden, the text in my Bookmarks bar has turned black making it unreadable on the black background. Any idea why this happened and how I may revert the text back to white? Thank you for your help.

Hello,

 I have Firefox 140.0 on Windows 11 23H2.  I just noticed that the Favorites Sidebar text and background are both dark.  The History Sidebar does not have this problem.  Changing either Firefox or Windows color scheme has no effect.  I'm pretty sure this happened with the latest update. 

Thanks

You need to re enable MetaMask. I have thousands of dollars that I can no longer access due to you blocking this extension. Get this issue fixed and let me know when you will get this corrected and what I need to do.

I just want to know why the latest update has changed all bookmarks to BLACK WRITING on the dark theme. Needless to say, it is almost impossible to read. MAJOR design flaw. I cannot/will not be able to change it to the light theme, as I suffer from epilepsy and too much/too long with white screens are dangerous. Why did you change it to something practically unusable? Can I change it back so I can work again? I have no desire to use another web browser, but the change you've made is likely to make it necessary.

(first image from pre-update, second image post-update)

Please note the almost invisibility of the bookmarks in the second post-update image - I can't imagine this design change benefits anyone.

Up until recently, my default search engine was Google. I recently switched it to DuckDuckGo.

I regularly use Ctrl+k (hereinafter ctrlk) to popup the window to enter a URL to create a link in whatever web app I am using (Microsoft Office 365 apps, Reddit, Quora, etc.)

Suddenly, in when I used ctrlk to enter a URL for a title I highlighted in an email, the cursor bounced up to the Address Bar and selected it. I've tested it, and ctrlk works to open the URL window when I switch back to Google as my search engine--except when I am logged into my Mozilla account--ctrlk brings up the URL window.

Is there any way to turn off the ctrlk/Address Bar shortcut? As part of my job, I write job aids and emails that have lots of links embedded in them so, for me, this is an accessibility issue as it take fewer keystrokes to activate the URL window using the this shortcut, and just a single roll of my trackball to get from wherever I am on a page to the Address Bar the few times I may i need it while writing. (Between having nine functional fingers and severe arthritis in my hands, I am not exaggerating my use of the word "accessibility".)

Thanks for any assistance I can get on this!

I need to enlarge the font on the bookmarks toolbar as I have a visual impairment. I can find ideas for the regular toolbar, but not for the bookmarks toolbar...oh, and I am working on a Mac.

Thanks in advance for any help.
