Re: [JAWS-Users] Firefox, RSS feeds and saving files
Andrew, thanks. But My question is that is this a bug? Window-Eyes never had the issue, I should be able to navigate the headings, find the podcast I want, find its mp3 and hit the context key and select save link as. Always worked in Wineyes, why not Jaws. Does it work differently?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Firefox, RSS feeds and saving files
Hello Adrian, Yes, in firefox, the correct termonology is save link as, shortcut K. The page hasn't changed since I last used it, I just got the wrong name for it. I have always hit shift+f10 and then select the save link as, or hit k, and it always worked in Window-Eyes. Sadly, this keyboard doesn't allow me to turn off numlock, but the page always has the headings in the order of description of the show, then the first heading says the episode number under that, the show notes, then the file. Strange. On 6/1/2017 05:01, Adrian Spratt wrote: Hi, Jared. I wasn't able to get the MP3 file, either, but I'm wondering about your terminology. First, when in Firefox, I use the JAWS simulation of a mouse right-click, which is the numpad * button on the numpad's top row, just to the left of the JAWS cursor key. I find that in Firefox, it gives me more options than the applications menu. Second, when wishing to save an MP3 or other file, I look for "Save target as..." It seems to me that you got the correct item when you clicked on "Save the link as..." That is, you were able to save the link. However, I found no "Save target as" option in this right-click menu, which implies that saving the MP3 file is no longer an option on this website. So I'm wondering if the website has changed since you last used it with WindowEyes. Note that the heading you list isn't on the page, but I eventually found one that sort of resembles it, and there was an MP3 link under it. This was the link I tested. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Jared Rimer Sent: Thursday, June 01, 2017 12:53 AM To: JAWS-Users-List@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] firefox, RSS feeds and saving files Hi all, I have never had this problem with Window-Eyes, but I have this problem with Jaws, and it baffles me.
