I experience a problem with using NVDA/Firefox with an external monitor. If I drag the Firefox window to my external monitor, NVDA doesn't work properly. Often doesn't read anything. Drag it back to the laptop screen and it works okay. Strange. Never experienced that with any other screen reader/browser combination.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [WebAIM] Using Firefox with nvda for accessibility testing needs

Hello everyone,

Today I heard the statement that it is better to test accessibility in firefox with nvda than using chrome with the same screen reader.

I don't really understand the difference now, but it would be really useful for me to understand it better. In which cases is it better to use firefox plus nvda for accessibility testing than using nvda with chrome and why? Where is the difference and how can I find it in the example?

I would like to use several browsers for testing and that's why I am asking it.

Thank you in advance!
