Hi Michael,
Well, I've seen a download for Internet Explorer
9 for XP so I'd assume its available for XP.
Beyond that I wouldn't know since I haven't
installed it on XP myself since my XP virtual
machine is exclusively used for old games and
other apps that don't run as well on Win 7.
As far as Firefox 10 accessibility goes depends
on the screen reader. I've heard Jaws and
Window-Eyes users complain that Firefox 10 is
not accessible. However, I am using NVDA and
Firefox 10 is fully accessible with NVDA. So I
think the question of accessibility is one that
depends totally on the screen reader being used. Ditto for Internet Explorer 9.
As for plugins and Firefox there are a number of
ways to manage plugins. If you are having a
problem with a certain plugin there are a couple of good things you can do.
One, you can download and update the plugin in
question and see if it resolves the problem. In
many cases what happens is someone updates
Firefox without updating all their plugins and
Firefox crashes do to incompatibility with
plugin x. So checking the plugins for Firefox is one way to correct problems.
Two, if a plugin like Quicktime isn't working
with Firefox but is working ok with Internet
Explorer rather than removing it you can disable
it in firefox. To do this do the following.
1. Open the tools menu.
2. Select the add-ons option.
3. Click on the plugins tab.
4. Arrow to the plugin you wish to disable.
5. Tab to the disable button and press enter.
After this the plugin will be disabled and
Firefox will ignore it. However, it will still
be available for Internet Explorer, Chrome, or
any other web browsers available on your system.
It also helps you to figure out if a certain
plugin is causing Firefox to crash by disabling
plugins and enabling them one by one until you
figure out what is causing it to crash.
So as you can see there actually are ways to
troubleshoot and fix problems if you know how to
handle it. Mostly using the add-ons option under
Tools will allow you to configure all of your
Firefox add-ons such as enable, disable, add,
remove, and update add-ons as needed. Its a
classic case of knowing what to do being half the battle. :D
Cheers!

I have only a few things to say here.
I know of several new laptops in Germany which
have Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit
preinstalled, and that can't be good when
things like the features of let's say the
ultimate edition are surely missing and when
there is a 64 bit version available and might
be better suited for the new hardware...
And Thomas, can Internet Explorer 9 really be installed on XP?
And what about IE 9 accessibility and the same
goes for Firefox 10 and the upcoming Firefox 11 as well?
And what about the plugin issues with Firefox?
How are you supposed to handle them? I have
read reports of components like quicktime
support in Firefox being unstable or failing.
This can't just be fixed by uninstalling the offending object.
If we are talking about browser extension, it
might be right, but what about content plugins
(Flash, Shockwave, Silverlight, Java, Adobe Air and so on)?
This is nothing the end user can fix, same goes for other extensions.
