Yes, I have been trying to fill out forms from Social security and three
times have had lockups with IE 11 and have lost all the data for this
particular form.  It is a huge form and I need to fill it out ASAP.  Will
try Firefox, I don't hold out high hopes, however.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] JAWS 16 and Streaming Video, Best performance is with
Google Chrome.

Hi All,

I never thought I would ever write a subject line that claims Google Chrome 
as the best functioning browser with JAWS, but I am now, for the limited 
purpose of streaming video.

Going back to perhaps JAWS 15, I started having lockup problems when trying 
to access streaming video.  This lockup would happen with either IE or 
Firefox, Firefox being worse, locking up to the point of having to reboot 
the computer.

At some point, I noticed that JAWS 16 was performing its lockup recovery, 
and if I was patient, JAWS would come up and the video would start.  Once I 
was able to play at least one video, matters seemed to calm down and things 
worked okay.

At one point I discovered that if I exited JAWS just before pushing the 
final command to start a video, the video would start quickly, and I could 
then re-start JAWS without a problem.

A few days ago I went to Google Chrom, and tried streaming video from 
Netflix, Youtube, and others.  Everything worked just fine, and videos 
started quickly.  I found JAWS to work just fine with Chrome for this 
limited purpose.  Turning off quick key navigation (insert an the letter z) 
allowed access to the Youtube video navigation keys.

I waited a few days so I could continue to try using Chrome for video.  I am

now satisfied that Chrome is indeed the best functioning browser with JAWS 
for streaming video.
