Macintosh features for Deaf-Blind and Universal Access

[André Thibeault]

Hi Val and everyone,

Yes, I am using Safari.  This afternoon, I tried to download Firefox.
However, I failed to install it. Tomorrow, I will try again to download and
install it.

Regards,

André

Hi Andre -
Are you using Safari? Or Google Chrome? Those two web browsers do NOT work
on the Mac for SignPuddle…you MUST use Firefox on the Mac - that is the only
one that works for SignPuddle right now…Internet Explorer works on Windows,
but on the Mac it is only Firefox… I just tried it in BOTH Safari and
Firefox, using the White on Black…and the Safari did not work, but the
Firefox does…Later Steve will be fixing it so that Safari will work
someday…but right now you must download and install Firefox:

Download Firefox for the Mac
http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/

or if you want the French version:
http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html

Try Firefox - smile -

Val ;-)
