I am really starting to love Firefox; it runs so much lighter than IE. I don't know if anyone else has had this problem, but every time I tab to a new link in Firefox, JAWS says "read only" before announcing the link. This can get kind of annoying. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Also, has anyone used Thunderbird with any success? I'd really like to try it (if for no other reason than I like the name) but don't want to go through the hastle if it isn't accessible or the JAWS scripts are somehow lacking something important.

I think that's the specs, but there is an abundance of info in JFW help and on the home page. A few web pages don't load quite right with Firefox, but they are few and far between, and if that happens, I find it easier to just use IE for that page than the script that is supposed to load pages you select in IE format. That script is probably what you remember seeing. I use Firefox every day, and love it.
