April, First, you are needlessly making far too much work for yourself all for nothing. Why do you insist you must turn Voice OVer off every time you get out of Safari. This is quite frankly, unnecessary. Also, the procedure you are using to try to open bookmarks is completely incorrect.
First, leave Voice OVer on. DO, NOT, turn it off. Here’s how to get in to book marks. 1. Open Safari. 2. Now, press VO+m to open the menu structure. 3. Now, press b for book marks. 4. Now, arrow down in to this menu, and, when ever you hear a book mark folder you want to get in to, press right arrow to expand it. Want to edit your book Marks? Do this. 1. Open safari. 2. Press Cmd+Option+b. That gets you in to the edit book marks window. You should know enough by now to take it from there. Sent from my Mac, the only computer with full accessibility for the blind built-in! Sincerely, The Constantly Barefooted Ray, still a very happy Mac and Iphone 5 user!
