actually you both have missed something, what was done by control O in internet explorer is done by control L in Firefox and the reverse is true as well if you hit control l in I.E. up to version 8 at least, you open an "on the computer file" open dialog box FF just reversed the two commands

take care,

Hi,
The open dialog in Firefox threw a curve ball at me too when I first
started using it. That dialog is really only meant for opening files
stored locally on your computer. If you use alt d to go to the address
bar rather than control o, you should have no problems typing in
addresses whether you shorten them or not. HTH.

Well I just did maintenance on my PC running Jaws 12 and XP Pro.  I still
need to do a few more steps but needed to work on PC.
I notice that with FF one needs to type the entire URL name? Am I right on
that?
I tested freedom scientific because I figure their link would have all
accessibility stuff.
I control+o and typed Freedomscientific.com and link not found.  I tried
several and then realized I need to precede link name with
http://www.freedomscientific.com
I went on other sites and Jaws was very clumbsy so I'd thought it could be a
mainntenance issue.
I did get Webvisum to work by typing alt+control+6 and Webvisum stated to wait then infomation could be copied from clipboard. So FF6 worked for me
but I only need to use FF when I encounter a
CAPTCHA.  But I'll keep working on learning FF because I know many who
prefer Firefox to IE.

Thanks again.

Ann

Hi Ann Marie;

Yes, you should, but are you having problems with version6, & if so, what
kind of problems?.  Take care.

 I already installed FF6, so would I need to uninstall FF6 before
installing
 3.5 or 3.6?  I have not used FF so much but I downloaded your other
versions
 just in case.
