Thank you All who gave me feedback on my question of Firefox verses Internet
Explorer! Your answers were very informative!
My conclusion, is to try Firefox, but not to c to be any more perfect than
IE.
However, I don't know how to set Fire Fox up as an alternative search
engine.
Let's say, I had IE open and was not happy with my search results; how do I
now put IE to sleep and bring up Firefox?
Again many thanks to all! Vicky

Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Fire Fox instead of Internet Explorer?
I use both Internet Explorer and FireFox and find them to be pretty similar
in accessibility.
Webvisum is mainly just used for solving CAPTCHAs and isn't required for a
screen reader to work with FireFox. You no longer need an invite to get a
webvisum plugin. You can just sign up and get one.
As far as flash goes, it is hit or miss on both sides. Listening to
samples on audible.com has been a problem for a long time. Apparently in
JAWS 12 it is no longer a problem. also System Access seems to have had
no issue with the samples for a while now. Having said that, running JAWS
11 I cannot easily access samples on audible.com using Internet Explorer,
but have no problem accessing them when using FireFox.
I see no reason not to have both browsers on your machine. It is very
nice to know that you can easily try a second browser if one is giving you
trouble. Also, the ability to automatically solve CAPTCHAs is extremely
satisfying.
