But Chrome is not very JAWS accessible, and I'm sick and tired of Mozilla's
endless cycle of new Firefox releases which don't work well with JAWS.

Google want you to download & install their own browser, Chrome. Firefox
is like it and, for several of our purposes, replicates Chrome nearly and
more accessibly, as well as having better keyboard support for
functionalities.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Unable to Change Google Search Settings
Hi listers. Using IE 8 with XP and JAWS 9, I discovered this morning
that Google.com has apparently changed its home page yet again, and now
I am unable to change my preferences on the search settings page. There
seems to be no way to turn Google Instant on or off like there used to
be, nor is there any apparent way to change the number of results per
page from the default value of 10. And I could not find any button to
save the search preferences. I tried with the virtual PC cursor on and
off (Insert Z), but nothing seems to work. I was last able to
successfully change my search settings a few days ago. I think I heard a
brief message that my browser was outdated and no longer supported or
something like that, which , of course is nonsense, because IE 8 is the
latest bersion supported by XP. Does anyone have any idea what's going
on with Google? Are they conspiring with MS to force us to upgrade to
Windows 8? Is there any way to change the number of results per page and
insure that Google Instant is turned off, short of switching to Firefox,
which I despise and use only for its Webvisum function? Thanks.
Gerald
