The main reason why I find myself going back to using IE is the
notification bar. A lot of messages appear their while surfing the
web. If JAWS isn't automatically reading those message alerts, then
you maybe missing out on something very important.
JAWS use to work very well with the FireFox browser notification bar
messages. Recently I've noticed the alert for saving the login info
isn't working with the [alt]+[r] key anymore. Very frustrating for I
want to use FireFox exclusively, but the latest build of JAWS 18 has
broken the notification bar script.
Hope they fix it with the next release.

Okay, here is one old JAWS user's opinion.
I Am now using Chrome as my primary browser. Things load more reliably,
fewer lockups, more stable streaming video. It was a long time coming for
me to make the switch, but I just found more and more times ending up having
to use Chrome because IE and Firefox were mis-firing. Yes, Chrome does
operate differently and takes a bit of time to get used to, but for purposes
of reading what is on the web page, Chrome works the same with JAWS
navigation as is the case for IE or Firefox. In fact, my transition to
Chrome started by my having links in emails open in Chrome, since that
provided me with the web page all ready to read. From there over time I
learned the other basics such as saving favorites, and about a month ago
realized that Chrome had become my general use browser, so I made the final
switch and Chrome is now the default browser for all purposes.

I haven't used Chrome much, but I find using Firefox to be a lot like using
IE. Some commands and menu options are differently named, but it doesn't
take long to get used to. For example, the command to go to a URL is
CONTROL-L as opposed to CONTROL-O as is the case with IE.
