Re: window-eyes quits againDate:
Fri, Sep 27, 2013 12:07:18 pmFirefox still crashes when dealing with combo boxes. It got so bad I had to
downgrade window eyes. Running firefox 24 with xp and WE 8.3. In order to
deal with combo boxes, you have to hit enter on one to turn browse off, make
your selection in the combo box, press enter again, then hit the browse mode
hot key again, navigate to the next control and activate it. I got tired of
doing this and went back to we 7.5. and bingo, no more crashes.
