Hello Tom; Try the following;
1, open firefox, 2, alt+t=tools, O=options, 3, now up-arrow until you hear; Listbox, press enter, 4, now down-arrow until you hear; Advance, 5, now tab and find the checkbox which you want to uncheck, Hope this helps. Statistics are like a bikini. What they reveal is suggestive, but what they conceal is vital. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Tom Behler Sent: Tuesday, March 21, 2017 2:22 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Firefox Question John: Well, I got the hardware acceleration setting changed, so am ok on that score. However, I'm noticing some real difficulties in terms of interfacing Jaws 18 with Firefox 52. May try NVDA at some point; for now, though I'm sure glad I have Internet Explorer 11 on this computer.

I just tried it with FF 52 and Jaws 16 and I could only access settings in the General section. I know that this was not the case with earlier versions of FF. I then shutdown Jaws and fired up NVDA--I was able to get to all settings, including the hardware acceleration setting. So, you might want to give NVDA a try, in order to get that setting changed.
