Hi, I would suggest a different approach. You should read the Getting Started Guide which is also in the help menu, and learn to use the commands help which is in the same place, or vi-h-h, in other words, hold down the vo keys and press h twice. This would explain much of this to you, and if you understand the logic, you’ll understand the terms. VO works well with Google Chrome, but not Firefox, you happened to pick an external browser which is not accessible, rather than start with what is built in, which is always the best way with Apple. You can do so much without getting any external apps and Apple ones often work best for most things for most people. Hope this helps.
