lots of sites I want to use do not work with k-meleon

Greetings.
I am having an issue with a few sites.
when I try to log in to fastmail.com, I just get a blank page after entering my details.
The mobile version of facebook produces an error.
"Your request couldn't be processed
There was a problem with this request. We're working on getting it fixed as soon as we can.
Join Facebook or log in to continue."
MeWe is a nightmare, I get asked to solve a CAPTCHA, and I have to get sighted assistance to help me try and solve it, because I am totally blind and use a screen reader.
and then instead of letting me in, it just puts up another challenge.
The sight that is used is called hcaptcha.com
Also, there are some websites written using wix that redirect to a page with the following URL.
https://static.parastorage.com/services/wix-thunderbolt/dist/deprecation-en.v5.html
I'm also having an issue knowing which plugins are enabled and disabled, because the checkboxes aren't seen by my screen reader program.
Is there a possible fix for these?
Thanks.

I only can recommend to use the latest K-meleon on Goanna engine build, if you are not using it already:
http://kmeleonbrowser.org/forum/read.php?19,154431


About the screen readers, I can't tell either. Most probably is because of the lack of care by web developers. Or maybe the screen reader can't attach to the browser viewport, as the interface differs from Firefox or other browsers. I have no clue there, frankly.

I hope using the above K-meleon build helps.

Unfortunately, that's the version I'm using.
Is there a way I can get more information so that the developers can help diagnose the problem and fix it for the next version?
Thanks.

There is no "next" version, but engine updates based on Goanna 3.5.x, so sadly, not all sites will render as mainstream browsers, but you can ask on that same thread to look if roytam could do something else.

Also I found this for accessibility purposes on hcaptchas:
https://www.hcaptcha.com/accessibility

Might be, as I said, they didn't care on accessibility on the default script and so they offer that.
