Re: [Blind-Computing] Problems with EBay and Facebook
Thanks for explaining this. I had another strange issue with Firefox today. For some reason, it stopped reading GMail. This is the message I got whenever I tried to do so. Note that Google, Facebook, and all other sites worked correctly. "The page isn't redirecting properly Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete. â–ªThis problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies." Not only did I not change anything with my cookie settings, but this is also a fresh download of Firefox, and it was working fine until the problem started today. One minute GMail loaded and the next, it I got this message. It works fine on IE. But IE keeps freezing my computer with Facebook. The page would just sit there, and I couldn't close it unless I rebooted. When this happened, it would also shut down NVDA, so that I had to restart it. As a sidenote, I learned that I can get to the address bar with alt-f4. In any case, I'm now using Comet Bird, which is completely accessible and made by Mozilla, so the commands are almost the same as with Firefox. GMail works correctly here, as does XMarks, setting that worry to rest. Ebay is acting as it does with Firefox and Internet Explorer, so I'm honestly beginning to think this is a problem/change on their end. If so, then I want to know how I can make the page revert to the old style.

Interesting! I just started it, and when I went to "about Internet Explorer", this is what it said. "Version: 8.0.6001.18702" I just wish I knew why I was having these problems. Also, reguarding those antivirus and spyware programs, can I run them while Microsoft Security Essentials is on my machine or not? Can I keep the two on together, even if I have to delete MSE?

I also have to use the mobile version of Facebook with both browsers, since it's very difficult to use the main site on Firefox and virtually impossible with IE. When I get e-mails of notifications from Facebook, they all use the www. version of pages. But I can't get to the address with IE, as I can with Firefox, in order to edit it to m. so that I can view things on the mobile site. I also can't update IE, because I'm using Windows XP, and 7 is the last version that will work with my os! So basically, I'm left with only a few options. 1. Change to a version of Windows which I have no idea how to use, and no desire to learn, one which is far more complicated than what I already have. 2. Buy another Mac (which is ridiculously expensive) so that I can upgrade to Mountain Lion, or buy more memory for my Macbook so I can upgrade to Lion. Both have better navigational features than Snow Leopard, but I'm not a huge fan of the Mac. Please do not suggest to me that I buy an iOS device. I don't like touch screens and the like, nor do I wish to change to Linux. 3. Continue using Firefox and uninstall/reinstall it every time Ebay starts acting up, hoping that will fix the problem (it didn't today), or I don't like an add-on and need to delete it, or do a system restore each time. 4. Wait for my MS-DOS 7.10 machine, which should be coming soon. I've heard that these sites are accessible with DOS browsers. For the record, I use NVDA as my screenreader. Has anyone else experienced these problems? If so, what solutions have you found? This is really upsetting me! What's worse is that both Ebay and Facebook have wonderfully accessible mobile pages, but they don't have many of the basic features of their main sites.

But there's still no way for me to sort by price, nor can I enter minimum and maximum price. Those fields simply aren't there. I tried to see if there was a link to return the classic look, or something of that nature, but none existed. This was with Firefox. It's also worth noting that, when Internet Explorer still showed the normal site, I still couldn't purchase anything with it. Every time I would attempt to do so, the page would freeze on me. Since I can't copy or edit the url there, I was forced to copy the entire page of the item into Notepad, then return to Firefox, go to Ebay and search by item number so that I could buy it. As a sidenote, I ran a full scan with Microsoft Security Essentials. I can't tell if it found anything, since it's not really accessible, and I just set it to quarantine and remove any moderate to serious threats. But it didn't change the behaviour of Ebay.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Problems with EBay and Facebook
i use fb, yes there are less accessibility. but you still can visit them and can chit chat with your friends. for chating i use skype 6, which give the option to configure fb contacts on it. and for notifications i use both mobile version and mainsite also. main site has more option so i mostly switch to it. but i am beginner user of facebook so fb, so i always prefer that some one should made its tutorial with jaws. initial tutorial withjaws are present on jaws users list home page but they are about how to make account on fb, so i request david and others that if someone has some tutorial regarding facebook then please share. if someone write these in text then it will take no more than two or three pages in ms word. so if someone has sufficient kowledge on the social networking sites either facebook or twitter should come up with great contribution in the form of tutorial either in text or audio but with jaws. thanks On 1/3/13, inthaneelf wrote: > ah, well you could use jaws, it still works there on eBay (I don't use > facebook so can't comment on them), you could update to windows 7 which is > not that hard to learn and can be customized to look just like XP, or you > can play with your dos when it comes out! > > live and learn, you make it sound bad, when it's actually a good thing > > inthaneelf > > -Original Message- > From: Blind-Computing [mailto:blind-computing-boun...@jaws-users.com] On > Behalf Of Eleni Vamvakari > Sent: Thursday, January 03, 2013 1:21 PM > To: blind-computing@jaws-users.com > Subject: [Blind-Computing] Problems with Ebay and Facebook > > Over the past several months, I've been having major problems with > Ebay.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Problems with EBay and Facebook
ah, well you could use jaws, it still works there on eBay (I don't use facebook so can't comment on them), you could update to windows 7 which is not that hard to learn and can be customized to look just like XP, or you can play with your dos when it comes out! live and learn, you make it sound bad, when it's actually a good thing inthaneelf -Original Message- From: Blind-Computing [mailto:blind-computing-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Eleni Vamvakari Sent: Thursday, January 03, 2013 1:21 PM To: blind-computing@jaws-users.com Subject: [Blind-Computing] Problems with Ebay and Facebook Over the past several months, I've been having major problems with Ebay.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Problems with Ebay and Facebook
I use JAWS 9 with IE 8 and XP and have no difficulty navigating EBay.com. If you're having trouble navigating EBay with NVDA, maybe you should consider downloading the demo version of JAWS 14 and using it whenever you need to access EBay or Facebook.
