Nor on this one Mark. I just tried it and, after W-E stopped talking, my sighted wife and I managed to shut down Firefox from Task Manager, and W-E came up, but not working properly - (win+d would not get me the desktop). After closing W-e and restarting it, I'm now back to normal but, without sighted support, the rest is silence! Windows7-64 W-E9.3.1 latest Firefox. Incidentally, at my first attempt, W-E said "browse mode not available", so I couldn't turn it off if I tried. -- Reg <regw...@btinternet.com>
