Ah, that doesn't sound good. Can't afford any more JAWS, so NVDA it is,
having never used it before, when I next upgrade. I have been using Firefox
with no problems though, until I accidentally gave it permission to update
itself yesterday. It hasn't yet done it as I haven't yet restarted, but
next time I restart it will update and become unusable. Sorry to be even
cheekier, but does anyone know where I can find the downloadd to revert to
the better version, or better still, how can I cancel the update?
Many thanks

Bad news! I think you will now struggle to run any version of Firefox with
JAWS 16. As the internet develops, you might now have to face the cost of a
steep upgrade curve or migrate to NVDA. If you have the latest version of
Windows 10, you might even give Narrator a try.

Hi Ian
Thank you very much for that. So this means that I can allow it to
update to 60 safely? Last time I checked, 60 was the version to
avoid, but this has been fixed now? Oh, also, is 60 usable with JAWS
16, my version, or must I still avoid it?
Anyway thank you again; 52 is the magic number. Fab.

Hi Amie,
The ESR version you refer to was 52. Now the ESR edition is up to
version 60. Hence, it is essentially the same as the latest version
of Firefox from an accessibility point of view.
Having said that, I thought Jaws was supposed to work reasonably well
with the latest Firefox these days.
Regards.

Hi list
Can somebody please very kindly resend me the link to the JAWS
accessible version of Firefox? I've just stupidly allowed it to
update itself and can't remember which version is the usable one,
which I must now refind in order to insist Firefox keeps on being
