[nvda] Re: Automatic reading of webpages

There is a plug in that replaces flash which I have a feeling does a similar thing to what you mention.. By the by, what is going on with Firefox, we seem to have had several new versions within just a week or so. I'd not noticed any problems myself.

I would suggest to make this optional, so that the user can turn it off.

Can you file a ticket, please? If you really can't, I will do it later.


One consequence of this feature is that NVDA does not land on visited
links when returning to a formerly visited page.

If the browser correctly sets focus to an element (including a link)
when it loads a page, NVDA will stop reading and instead move to and
announce the element. Unfortunately, focus is sometimes not restored as
it should be in Firefox. In particular, if you have WebVisum enabled,
focus will *never* be restored. This is either a bug in WebVisum,
Firefox or both.

Given this piece of info, do you still want this feature, or was it just
to work around the visited link issue?
