Does NVDA have a pass through option? I've found that on some web pages you have to first hit enter on the button to give it the focus, then turn on pass through so that the next key pressed as passed to the program without being intercepted, then hit enter again.

Or use a text entry field to enter forms mode, then tab to the next button, then hit enter.

Both have worked for me on the few pages that seem to ignore me when I "click" a button.

In that case, I don't know what to tell you, when I set up Thunderbird for my own GMail account, I don't recall having to authorize it, it just worked.

Did you go into your GMail settings and turn on IMAP and or POP3 access? That's what I did, then I just entered GMail's server information as if it was just your standard email account from an ISP.

Hmm, that's strange. When I setup mine, it did works. Yes, I do need to authorized it, but it works.

The problem is not authorization, rather it is the next ubtton or other controls on the page which appreas not working at all.

wow man, you like all way behind there. anyway, glad to know it worked.

As part of my system upgrade I had to set up a new copy of Thunderbird on the new system. It was easy, after installing the software, I just copied over the Mozilla and Thunderbird folders from \ProgramData and \Users\<Me>\AppData and it was done. My mail accounts, my settings, my extensions, everthing, and no need to reauthorize Thunderbird to access GMail either.
