Hi, this is from the jaws help system. There is much more there but this
can get you started.

Mozilla Firefox Getting Started
There are no special installation or setup requirements to run this product
with JAWS. Simply start the program using normal procedures. Refer to the
product's online help system as required. If you need assistance with JAWS
commands or want to know what new features have been added that JAWS
supports, press INSERT+F1+F1.
JAWS uses the Virtual Cursor with Firefox. This allows you to read pages
just like you would in Internet Explorer. Use the standard document reading
commands to move through text, and press ENTER to activate links. When you
move to a link with the TAB key, you can press CTRL+ENTER to open the link
in a new tab or SHIFT+ENTER to open it in a new window. Alternatively, you
can press ALT+ENTER to save the target of the link as a file on your
computer.
You can also use Navigation Quick Keys to quickly move to headings, lists,
links, tables, form controls, and other HTML elements. For example, you can
press T for table, F for form control, V for visited link, H for heading,
and so on. Add SHIFT to move to the previous element of that type. For a
complete listing of these commands, visit Navigation Quick Keys.
Displaying Lists of Information
JAWS can create lists of certain HTML elements on the current page, just
like in Internet Explorer. Press INSERT+F3 to see the various types of lists
that are available. You also can use the following commands to quickly
display lists of the following important HTML elements:
Form Fields - Press INSERT+F5
Headings - Press INSERT+F6
Links - Press INSERT+F7
Frames - Press INSERT+F9
In addition, if you hold down CTRL+INSERT and press one of several
Navigation Quick Keys, JAWS displays a list of those elements on the current
page. For example, to display a list of check boxes on the current page,
press CTRL+INSERT+X. For a complete list of keystrokes that display lists of
elements, refer to Navigation Quick Keys.
Use the UP and DOWN ARROW keys to move through the lists and select items.
Alternatively, press the first letter of an item to move right to it. Press
ENTER to move to the selected item's location on the page.
Interacting with Forms
To interact with forms in Firefox, you must use Forms Mode, just like in
Internet Explorer. Press ENTER to switch to Forms Mode. While in this mode,
press TAB or SHIFT+TAB to move between form controls. After you have
completed the form, press NUM PAD PLUS to exit Forms Mode. For more
information, visit HTML Forms.
Using the Downloads Manager
The Downloads Manager appears automatically when you save a file from the
Web on your computer. You can also display it at any time by pressing CTRL+J
or by opening the Tools menu and choosing Downloads. The Downloads Manager
shows all files that you have downloaded with Firefox. In the Downloads
Manager, you can select a downloaded file with the arrow keys. After you
have selected a file, you can press the TAB key once to select Open, and
then press ENTER to open the file. Alternatively, you can press the TAB key
a second time to select Remove, and then press ENTER to remove the file from
the Downloads Manager. Choose the Clean Up button to remove all files from
the Download Manager.
Tip: To change the folder where Firefox saves downloaded files, open the
Tools menu, choose Options, and select "Downloads." Then, select the Save
All Files to this Folder radio button, and choose the Browse button.
