[RWP] Can it be; Things Seem to Run more Reliably on NVDA?

[Indigo]

Oh, those dreaded words, size doesn't matter!
Let's say, in certain instances, like screenreaders; small and light 
really helps.
I've got totally addicted to doing the NVDA+numPad enter, that acts as a 
right click on certain selections at the arrow keys.
So intuitive.
Since you know NVDA, I cannot for the life of me figure out how I lost 
the spoken percentage and ascenting beeps as I download online.
I still get those offline, or when I download from MidiMag, but not 
online in FireFox 21.
I think maybe FireFox 21 somehow broke the beeps, but I also upgraded to 
version 2013 of NVDA at the same time, and can't find a setting either 
in FireFox or NVDA to get that audible download percentage back.
Got any ideas?
Thanks,
Indi
