one you can often find a version and stick with it, I am currently using Firefox version 16 and web visum and probably will not upgrade until forced to do so (the last version I was using was 4.1)
other than keeping I.E. up to date with the updates, I have seen no take over's anywhere else and am not worried about it I think this is mostly a ploy to get folks to upgrade is all I have Firefox (I think 4.1 still) and I.E.7 on my XP machine and am not going to worry about it, bells, we ain't even supposed to be here today according to "experts" lol, happy hangover, inthane -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Gerald Levy Sent: Monday, December 31, 2012 3:31 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Serious security flaw in IE7,8 and possibly 9? 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?
