But she advises XP users to switch to Firefox or Google Ghrome, which to
me is not a satisfactory solution. Mozilla keeps releasing new versions
of Firefox every other week and some features like Webvisum don't work
with these later versions. And Google Chrome is still not JAWS
accessible. So waht alternative does an XP user have?

Hi.
As the article says, this doesn't appear to affect IE9 but you could
always switch to firefox which works fine with jaws and all major
screen readers.

I subscribe to the Kim Komando newsletter. She just sent out a special
security alert warning against hackers exploiting flaws in IE6,7,8
and even
9 that can allow someone to completely take over your computer. She
recommends switching to either IE10 or Firefox or chrome. Which of
these
alternatives to Ie6-9 work best with Jaws? I am using Jaws 13.0.1006
on a
windws 7 computer. The link to her alert is below.
