I downloaded FireFox about 6 months ago and my feedback is quite mixed. My own experience is that FireFox is definitely faster than IE but does not work as well with Jaws. These can be minor but annoying things. I have encountered the following problems.
1. I often need to refresh the screen with insert escape for Jaws to pick up the headings links in a Google search page. This behaviour is never replicated in IE7 2, FireFox with Jaws does not, for some reason, read all edit box labels . On one of my savings accounts it is impossible to log in as the edit boxes will not be read. Closing Firefox Switching to IE will cause the problem to disappear. 3. Firefox is extremely unstable with the Form Field list feature in Jaws. Often it will not pick up the Insert key press with F5 and will simply interpret this as a request to refresh the page through a single F5 push. This sporadic problem becomes permeate on a page once you have made one use of insert plus F5 to get a form field list. Firefox will never allow you to return to the Forms Field list once you have used it once and will simply refresh the page. This has made it impossible for me to use FireFox to enter another bank account where for some reason Form Fields are read out of order in an almost random fashion. So in the end I use FireFox on an old laptop as it is definitely faster than IE but use IE for anything to do that requires serious use of data input.

So far I have found that my JAWS Find Command (control plus the letter F) does not work. I am using JAWS 7.0. Can someone please tell me how to fix this problem? Also, what is your opinion of Fire Fox verses IE? Thanks for any feedback that I can get on this subject.
