Mr. Srikant, I second your opinion about IE 8 and I haven't found any problems using IE 8 either accessibility wise or stability wise in IE 8 as of now (Note that I'm using Jaws 10). Also, when you say that you are preferring Firefox over IE, kindly tell me is it completely accessible with JAWS as much as IE is, because I have been using Firefox over a year now and I personally feel that it is not all that good while using it with JAWS, some e.g. which I have experienced are: > while browsing through tables using Ctrl+alt+ down arrow, sometimes it says > "bottom of column" though my cursor is still in the middle of the table and > plenty of rows are there below that. > while using tabs, sometimes Jaws doesn't read the correct tab, to simplify I > can say: suppose I have three tabs - google.com,msn.com & yahoo.com and > google.com is the tab which is activated currently Sometimes when I press > ctrl+tab, though firefox shows that the tab has been changed to the next one > i.e. msn.com, but Jaws still doesn't recognize that and keeps on reading the > page at google.com.
I hope I was able to make myself understandable..
