NVDA, Firefox, and the boards

Hello


Firefox is my preferred browser. When I try to use NVDA withit, and read a topic in these boards, All the NVDA rendering of the topic shows is the headers of each post. None of what the user had entered as message body shows up; it's as if every message were only the header and any links the user had happened to put into her/his post. Is there some Firefox and/or NVDA setting I can adjust in order to have this work right? Is this situation unique to the Zone boards? I'll have to try live journal or something.



Thanks,



-Dave H

Hi Dave,

Unable to give adequate answer, really any answer ~

Rather just bumping this board Topic up the line.

Which release of nvda are you using? On the mailing list they said something about using comtypes version 3 but i don't know what they are or anything but i think they have something to do with firefox. Maybe you will have to register these comtypes or use an older version of it for example 0.5 which is the oficial release.
