Scripts for Thunderbird
http://EmpowermentZone.com/tb_scr.exe

or substitute the .zip extension for a manual install.

Changes in version 2.6:

Added more reliable and mnemonic support for querying message fields, whether in a message list or body: Alt+Shift+F for the From field, Alt+Shift+T for the To field, Alt+Shift+C for the CC field, Alt+Shift+B for the BCC field, and Alt+Shift+S for the subject field. When pressed twice quickly, the text is copied to the clipboard. This allows, for example, replying directly to the sender of a list message by pressing Alt+Shift+F twice, pressing Control+R, then pasting in the To field. Alt+0 may still be used to hear all fields at once, or display them in the virtual viewer if pressed twice.

Added Alt+Shift+Space as a hotkey for the Web Client Utilities menu, creating command consistency with the EdSharp text editor,
http://EmpowermentZone.com/edsetup.exe

and FileDir file manager,
http://EmpowermentZone.com/dirsetup.exe

Note that the 35 web client utilities are not installed with the Thunderbird scripts. The scripts just make the utilities easy to access if Thunderbird is the active application. The web client utilities may be installed with the scripts for Firefox or Internet Explorer.

Fixed compatibility of the script installer with 64-bit Windows 7.

An audio tutorial on Thunderbird has been done by Raul Gallegos of GW Micro, and is available at http://www.blind-geek-zone.net/audio/thunderbird_tutorial_mono_by_raul_part1.mp3

Scripts for Firefox
http://EmpowermentZone.com/FxMax.exe

and Internet Explorer
http://EmpowermentZone.com/IEMax.exe

or .zip for a manual install.

Changes in version 1.3:

Made miscellaneous bug fixes to the routines in the Homer script component (Homer.wsc), which is also separately available at
http://EmpowermentZone.com/HomerJax.zip

Changed logic to load that component only once, rather than loading or unloading it each time the browser is activated or deactivated. This should minimize the situations that have resulted in the message "Error loading Homer COM object!"

Made changes to help ensure that all keys defined in the browser scripts by Freedom Scientific are supported, e.g., JAWSKey+F8 to read the IE toolbar. Made the Copy All and Read All commands, Control+F8 and Alt+F8, operate on the browser's textual view of the page, rather than on the screen reader's virtual view, thus eliminating meta data like "list of 5 items."

Included the latest, 35 web client utilities with various fixes and enhancements, a collection that is also separately available with the InPy custom Python interpreter,
http://EmpowermentZone.com/InPy.zip

Added Alt+Shift+Space as a hotkey for the Web Client Utilities menu, creating command consistency with other applications and script sets that also use these utilities.

Fixed compatibility of the script installer with 64-bit Windows 7.
