Probably even more off-topic than a discussion of browsers: a screen reader isn't a browser at all. The developers of assistive technologies such as Jaws tend to put much more effort into making them work well with applications like Excel than they do for browsers. I think the belief that screen readers are only, or primarily, used for surfing the web is probably the single most common misconception about assistive technologies. They can and do interface to IE and Firefox, but they are used for a lot more than that.
