Great to hear that! It is true that Firefox is proving to be far better an accessible browser than other browsing applications, particularly when used with NVDA. But the major issue with it is that it sometimes behaves quite strangely, becoming unstable for reasons beyond our comprehension. But let me confess that I am an all-time fan of Internet Explorer. IE 10 and above is extremely responsive. Of course, I am equally appreciative of the Firefox, and the kind of rich options it can offer you, despite being freely available.

What was that Netscape Dispatch WNT anyway? Also, I don't think that one should let Firefox import settings from Internet Explorer, because these days Mozilla Firefox is much better in terms of accessibility than any other web browser. Even before the Netscape Dispatch WNT issue, I frequently used the Alt + D and then Shift + Tab technique due to unknown reasons. Also, I hope that the Netscape Dispatch WNT doesn't bother me in the future. Thank you very much.
