I really would like to dump Firefox and Explorer, the former locking up most times on the initial launch and the latter crashing continually despite most add-ons disabled. Using Jaws 14.x and Windows 7, is there a way to get Jaws to read the screen using a Jaws cursor in Google Chrome? I had the same issue with Firefox, but it's pretty much history for me at least until bugs are worked out, so I don't much care at the moment. Any help on Chrome tweaks or tips are greatly appreciated.

My problem is that a lot of code is written so that as soon as you move down with the arrow key, it makes that first selection your choice automatically and sends you off to whatever that choice is. I would like to go up and down through those lists without it making a selection automatically so I can see all of the choices before selecting one on my own.
