Hi, I figured out that this problem isn't NVDA specific. i also figured that out that this issue is also present on that computer when i install nvda next. Seems that might be a win 7 or firefox problem.

I am not surprised about this as NVDA and Firefox have a close relationship. The question is the new version going to be on the Mac platform and if so, will Voice-Over users be impacted? -----Original Message----- From: Blind-sysadmins [mailto:blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] On Behalf Of Chris T via Blind-sysadmins Sent: Wednesday, 15 November 2017 8:00 PM To: Blind sysadmins list Cc: Chris T Subject: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] Firefox 57 Quantum and NVDA under Win 7 As an alternative, the water fox browser might be worth a go. It is lighter than Firefox and aside a few querks, it's very quick and works with the screen reader Cheers Chris Turner Sent from mobile.

Hi,

Different system at home: Win 10 Home 64 Bit NVDA Next 14601 daily build Firefox 57.0 64 bit

No problems. Seems a update in the office to the latest daily build might be interesting.

Advice is to go to the ESR because that gets security updates and won't be upgraded to 57 until the middle of next year when it is anticipated that support will be available for screen readers again. I have gone over to Chrome temporairily.

System: Win 7 Pro 64 Bit Screenreader: NVDA 2017.3 Firefox Version: 57.0 64 Bit

I just installed Firefox 57 Quantum on this machine. I read online that this version should be more performant than the older versions and use less system resources. though i had to downgrade again to version 56.0.2 and disabling updates for a while because my pc decided to not like that version all that much.

CPU usage rose drastically and the computer became unresponsive. I wonder if that is a NVDA thing or other people might have the same issues with other assistive technology.
