BlankI saw this on the Jaws list. Apparently, if you use Chrome browser, the
http://www.m.facebook.com command takes you to an inaccessible site.
John Gasman, a Jaws betatester, passed along the following hint:
Recently in Chrome, the ability to post along with the post button disappeared
although it was still there in Firefox.
I never tried it with Edge.
Yesterday, this great mesage came from our private JAWS Beta list which you
might
find helpful, I did!!
"If you are using Chrome, when you go to
m.facebook.com,
it redirects to mTouch.facebook.com, which is a site  optimized
for touch that is not very accessible.
If you are using Firefox or IE, it redirects to
mBasic.facebook.com, which is the super lightweight static site most of you
know as
m.facebook.com.
So, if using Chrome, go directly to
http://www.mbasic.facebook.com
to get the same experience that you would in Firefox or IE. It looks like
Facebook
from Internet Explorer.
You can also make a shortcut in your desktop by going to the menus in Chrome
and
pressing enter
on More Tools and looking for "Create A Shortcut". You'll have to title the
shortcut.
I titled mine, "FaceBook Basic in Chrome."
Take my advice -- I don't use it anyway.
