Re: [orca-list] slack probably inaccessible, maybe something happened in firefox 57?

Search for the readme.md file, I was on that site and found instructions in that file. On Wed, 22 Nov 2017, John Covici wrote:

I see no instructions there, except the readme which tells how to get
a token, but not how to install or start the package -- otherwise its
just a bunch of .el files.

Has instructions. They're a bit on the short side, but it looks pretty thorough.

OK, so Icloned emacs-slack, so how do I install the thing?  All I see
is a bunch of .el files and the readme file which says nothing about
installing or how to start it.

As far as I know no. Uploading files is very straightforward but
it seems that there is no how to download then. Generally when
someone uploads a file I press return over it and my default
browser is open in the page where I can download the
file. Perhaps this is a limitation of Slack's Web API and not of
the package itself.

Also, any way to download a file using this package -- I see something
to upload the file, but how about downloading?

This package is just a client that interacts with Slack's Web API
via an https connection. Notice that you should create an app
associated to your account in order to obtain a client id, a
secret key and a token to authorize the connection.

My team requires an ssl connection, will the package you talked about
from github do that?

I looked at emacs-slack, but I need to connect via ssl -- with this

Have a look at: https://github.com/yuya373/emacs-slack. The
Github page has everything that you need to get started.

hmmm, I tried installing slack melpa package, but could not find any
documentation or any way how to use it.  Is the emacs-slack different
from this one?

Some friends are complaining about the accessibility of Firefox 57 on Windows systems. maybe there were 
accessibility regressions that affected some applications on Linux as well, although I haven't tested yet and 
can't confirm this.
However the better way that I've found to use Slack on a computer was through a Emacs package called 
emacs-slack. It provides an excelent access to the majority of Slack features without accessibility problems.

Obviously if you aren't an Emacs user there is no sense on using it just for getting access to Slack, but if 
you are, I strongly recommend having a look at it. My company uses Slack heavily and this package has saved 
my life since I was
having lots of problems to interact with Slack with Firefox. By the way, the iPhone app also works relatively 
well.

     Hello.

Slack seems to be inaccessible on new firefox, before it was far better.
You need access to any kind of slack channel.
When you join it, your focus goes to the message field, when you switch
to browse mode you should be able to navigate around, and previously it
was possible, but not it reacts... weird, and actually doesn't really work.
