[nvda] Re: read chm files with firefox until NVDA's support for MSHTML improves

Hi,
It's a Microsoft format.
It's a set of html files compiled in one file.
There are many of them, for example, on
C:\WINDOWS\Help
There are many books using this format.
The big advantage is that you can navigate from one file to another non-contigously file through a tree which shows hierarchically the various topics, which one corresponds to one file. 

Hope this helps
Best regards

To those of us who have no idea what you mean, can you explain what these files are and how they are needed?

Hello all,
Today I have found quite interesting firefox extension. It allows us to load a chm file into firefox and read the content. By selecting the appropriate menu in the view -> sidebar or after pressing ctrl+e it can also display hierarchical content in the sidebar So with this firefox extension we may be able to read chm files confortably until our support for Internet explorer improves. Here's the sourceforge project page of chmreader http://sourceforge.net/projects/chmreader/ and here is the direct download link of the latest version: http://dfn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/chmreader/chmreader-windows_x86-msvc-0.2.3.xpi
