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.

I am taking Fire Fox for a test drive.  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.
