In firefox, you can also use ALT + D to move the focus to the address
bar. HTH.

Hi Don,
Thank you very much for this very helpful information. I figured out what I
was doing wrong. I was pressing,Control + O, for webpages, instead of,
Control + L. For those who might not know what I am talking about. In
Internett Explorer when you want to open a new webpage you invoke the
Control + o, keystroke, then type in the URL where you want to go& press
enter. In Firefox you invoke the, Control + L, keystroke, then type in the
URL you want& press enter. Invoking the Control + O, keystroke in Firefox,
is the keystroke for opening specific files. Thanks again, take care.

Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] IE versus Firefox
In both browsers I use a shortcut. Just type in the "jaws-users"
portion of the address (without the quotes) and hit Control + Enter.
This will prefix the necessary "http://www."; and append the ".com"
portions of the address. This however, only works with ",.com" addresses.

real substance, value, and content that I just try to make sure that I
am working on things that matter.
