I actually didn't have to do all that navigation. I just went to web under the VoiceOver utility, tabbed once and used VO right arrow. Instantly I saw the options and selected the group mode radio button. As for Facebook it's a large and cluttered site. I like the mobile version but find that it won't let me see posts made in groups and won't let me comment on my own status. Neither site will let me delete applications once added. I've tried this with a few screenreaders on my XP machine and one of them at least tells me that there's a remove button but it won't let me press it. VoiceOver doesn't even recognise it and will only let me block an ap. Does anyone know how I can fix this problem? Also, can I delete the photos ap and still add photos? I'm sick of seeing "person A has added a new photo" or "B has commented on A's photo". These things do nothing for me.
