Subject: [JAWS-Users] 2 Firefox questions
Hi Listers,
I recently installed Firefox at work because Jaws 10 with IE 7 just didn't
work to fill out a number of forms that I'm responsible for. Fortunately,
Firefox is doing the job. There are 2 things I can't figure out with
Firefox though.
1. I can't figure out how to turn on the feature to have web addresses
that I go to often auto complete when I start typing the address.
2. In IE what Jaws calls combo boxes are called list boxes in Firefox, and
they seem to operate differently. In Firefox, the only way I can find to
select an item is to hit enter on it. That's not a problem - although I
don't know what will happen when I come across a multi-select list box.
The problem is that after I select an item Jaws doesn't recognize it when
I read through the page to check my work. Jaws just says "list box
collapsed." My work around has been to unload firefox and go back to IE so
that Jaws can read the selections in the combo boxes. This isn't a big
deal, but if there's a better way to handle this, I'd love to know.
Thank you,
Shari
