Hi all,

Using windows 10, 1803, and Jaws 2018, latest build.

Making progress so here's where I'm at. You can get to the favorites 
folder in Microsoft Edge, using all 3 screen readers, Jaws, NVDA, and 
Narrator, and here's how I did it:

1. launch Microsoft Edge, and it will say Microsoft edge, search or 
enter web address edit.
2. Now, press shift tab until you hear it say hub button, and you press 
space bar or enter, and it says favorites bar folder closed.
3. Now, press shift tab 1 time and it will say favorites, 1 of 5. The 
reason it says 1 of 5 is, 1 is the favorites folder, 2 is the reading 
list folder, 3 is the books folder, 4 is history, and 5 is the downloads 
folder, and Microsoft Edge uses the same downloads folder as internet 
explorer uses.

4. Now, we'll go back to the top of the list which is the favorites folder.

5. Now, press enter, and you are in the favorites folder but I don't 
know if it is the favorites folder for Microsoft Edge, or not, does 
anyone know?

If it is the favorites folder for Microsoft Edge, I would think I would 
find favorites in that folder, but when I go to the Microsoft Edge 
favorites folder, there's no favorites in the Microsoft Edge favorites 
folder.

So, getting back to this favorites folder, which is 1 of 5, you can down 
arrow through it, with all 3 screen readers, but you cannot use 2 letter 
navigation, and you cannot use 1st letter navigation either.

Now this next thing is really interesting, if you down arrow to 
downloads, 5 of 5, then, press tab 1 time, it will say open folder link, 
and you press enter, and you're in your downloads folder. Now, go ahead 
and use 1st letter navigation, or 2 letter navigation in that folder, 
and you'll see, it works in the downloads folder, but it doesn't work in 
the favorites folder, isn't that something. The downloads folder is in a 
list view, but who knows what view the favorites folder is in.
