Of course, you can also do this - tabbed browsing; up to eight (8) home, or Favorite, pages in one window - in version of Internet Explorer since IE7. (Many blind users don't seem to like it. But there's no inherent accessibility problem. Pressing Ctrl with one of the numbers when on this multi-tab home page or multitab Favorite will bring you to the relevant site.) The only apparent problem is the complexity of the arrangement.

Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Creating Desktop Shortcut With Firefox

I'm getting closer to having Firefox as my default browser but thee
bookmark organization is a bit baffling.  I don't think that bookmark
access ias an insurmountable issue, though.  I like the idea of putting
up to eight sites I use a lot as my home page (home tab).

I'm quite at home with Thunderbird so Firefox should not be too
difficult to learn.

Thanks.

That's the handy thing about tabbed browsing. You can have up to 8 sites in different tabs, stored as if on one site in one window. You cycle between each one with the ctrl+tab keys; alt+a # 1 through 8; or by using the other Quck Tab features.

Hi Jim,
If you have 1 or 2 websites that you have to access with Firefox, you could
try this:
1. Put a portable version of Firefox on your computer
2. Create a Desktop shortcut for the Firefox.exe file.
3. Launch Firefox, and then go to the website you want.
4. Set this website as the home page in Firefox.
5. If you have another website to access, I believe Firefox has the
capability for having multiple home pages.
Now, when you need to access those sites, launch Firefox from your Desktop
shortcut, and the web page you want should be right there.
Additionally, any other sites you need Firefox for could be added to the
Bookmarks, and should be easier to access from within that browser.
Doing this would eliminate the need to change your default browser, and keep
the sites relative to the browser needed to access them.

HTH,
Rick Justice

Tomorrow's another day, another way!
and if tomorrow never comes, problem solved!
