Victoria,
Unnecessary. you can have the two open separately at the same time, even
on the same page. they don't interfere with each other. You can alt-tab
from one to the other. .

Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Fire Fox instead of Internet Explorer?
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

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.
