Hi, Bill.
Well, my internet favorites from IE 11 appear to have been successfully transferred over to Firefox via Plain old favorites. I did have some trouble getting them to be listed alphabetically when working with plain old favorites in the Firefox add-ons manager, though. I could get to the sort by name box ok, but had no indication from Jaws whether it was being checked or un-checked. Actually, as my sighted wife watched me, the only way I could get the check box checked was to hit the enter key once, rather than the spacebar. Once this was done, I was ok. I have saved all of these instructions for future reference. Now, if I can get my text-edit box entry problem solved with IE 11, I'll be in good shape. That problem is a source of incredible frustration for me, and is causing me to think very seriously of completely dumping IE 11 as my backup internet browser, and moving to something like Google Chrome. However, that is a project that will take time, and may have to be saved for a later day. If you have any more suggestions for addressing my text edit box information entry problem, please feel free to send them my way.

A while back, I imported internet favorites from Internet Explorer to Firefox using the add-on tool called plain old favorites. http://www.iosart.com/firefox/plainoldfavorites/ Since I now am using Firefox as my main internet browser, I'm interested in adding some additional favorites to my favorites list. I can find the tab that says "add favorites", but when I attempt to do this, nothing happens. Jaws says nothing, and I appear to get a blank screen. Am I missing a step here, or is there a different way to add new favorites to my favorites list in Firefox? Thank you!
