Hi Ians
Thank you both, Ian R, who reminded me that I obviously do still have the
download, as for a while, until someone kindly turned off automatic updates
for me, I was reinstalling v52 everytime I booted up.  It is still there and
will be used if necessary.
Ian L, thank you too.  I must move to NVDA as well.  Where's a good place to
go for tips on getting started with it, please?
Many thanks
A

Hi Amie,

In theory, Jaws will work with the newer version of Firefox.  However, I
think you would need to have the latest Jaws.  With Jaws 16 you may well be
better off with an older Firefox, but I don't know where you would find a
copy.  Did you by any chance keep Firefox version 52 from your previous
installation?
If not, perhaps the download will be in your Recycle Bin.

Regards.

Ian

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.

Ian

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 accessible.

Many thanks for any help.

Amie
