[accessibility] Firefox + windows magnifier

[BigBoss87]

Hi

I'm a long time legally blind firefox user. 
I'm here to talk about how the windows magnifier behaves with firefox.

The problem I'm having is related to text focus. Windows magnifier focus on the text while we type. The thing is, it is now focusing way above where the text is, and I can't see what I'm typing.

Another issue I only have with Firefox is for example, on Twitch site, when I hover over a channel on the left side, the focus goes all over the place. This is something that has been bothering me for a few years now.

Another example of this behavior is on Amazon. If I hover over the rate stars where we can see 4.5/5 for example, it happens too. The focus starts moving around by itself.

It's important to mention that this behavior only happens with Firefox, it works fine on other browsers, but I don't want to change, firefox is my favorite since 2008.

I wish that you guys work on top of windows magnifier so we can have a more smooth experience. I really appreciate you all

Thank you

Yes, me too.  I did not update firefox on my other computer and it is fine.  But, the latest version is useless for me, so I can't use the one computer anymore now.  This needs a patch/fix quickly.

To clarify, I am only talking about the focus not being on the text when typing and being way above the text at the top of the window.  The other issues mentioned are longer term issues that I have seen too.   Just so you know, I have tested it on my other computers where I declined the last firefox update and they work fine.  On the computer where I did the update, the problem does not exist on other programs such as Chrome, so it is clearly with the latest firefox update that the problem exists.

Glad I'm not alone on this.

This has been bothering me so much today. I wish this can be fixed soon.

I actually temporarily downgraded because it is nearly useless as it stands with the newest version.  You are not alone!
