Mozilla Apps Enhancements

add-on that provides accessibility features for Mozilla applications

Firefox

  • NVDA+A (desktop) or NVDA+Control+A (laptop) Reads the page address. If pressed twice quickly, copies it to clipboard.
  • NVDA+End (desktop) or NVDA+Shift+End (laptop) Reads the status bar. If pressed twice quickly, copies it to clipboard.
  • NVDA+F8 Shows a list of opened tabs. If pressed twice quickly, shows buttons of tool bar.
  • Also, you can assign, in NVDA preferences, an alternative gesture to display the toolbar buttons which is more comfortable for you than twice pressing.
  • NVDA+Control+N Reads the last notification and it takes the system focus to it if it is possible. By pressing two times quickly shows the history of notifications.
  • NVDA+F6 Brings the focus to the document.

Thunderbird

  • In a message window:
    • Control+Shift+(1-9) Reads the sender and recipients of the message. If pressed twice quickly, opens the options menu.
    • Alt+Control+Shift+1-9 opens the options menu too; Use it if twice pressing does not work well.
    • NVDA+F6 Brings the focus to the body of the message
      • Control+Shift+A Brings the focus to the list of attachments, if any.

(These scripts are also available in the list of messages if you activate the preview pane.)

  • In messages list:
    • If the preview pane is active, press NVDA+downArrow (desktop) or NVDA+A (laptop) to read the message without leaving the list.
      • Control+NVDA+(1-9) Read the information in the corresponding column.

Gestures can be customized in Preferences of NVDA > Input gestures when Firefox or Thunderbird are open.

In NVDA Preferences > Options > Mozilla Thunderbird you can enable/disable automatic message reading in the preview pane.
