Yeah, the jaws cursor simply has never worked in Firefox for me in the
slightest. No idea why this is. It's been invaluable in other pieces
of software, but I never used it much in IE either, since the virtual
cursor is pretty handy. From the looks of things you'll just have to
do without the jaws cursor. it would be nice to understand why this
won't work though; maybe there is something that can be done about it.
Quoting Mario Brusco via Jfw <[email protected]>:
Adrian, the funny thing is, if I run FF in safe mode, the JAWSCursor can
read text on the screen. also, when I was still using Windows XP and
experiencing this problem, my nephew said there was something on the screen
that he clicked to get rid of. what it was, I don't know. maybe FS has a
suggestion.

Mario,
I rarely use the JAWS cursor with Firefox. I just tried, and I find it
doesn't work on my system, either. The result is different, however. Instead
of JAWS verbalizing the cursor keys, I can get it to speak only one line of
any screen. Firefox remains completely navigable with the PC cursor.
I recall reading somewhere, probably on this list, a technical explanation
for this development with the Internet and browsers. I didn't keep the item
and I lack the technological sophistication to understand it. However, it
does seem that the JAWS cursor has limits.
I'm using FF 28, Win7 and JAWS 15.0.7023 (not the most current release).

hi Listers, I recently reinstall Firefox, which I used the Ninite installer.
but now I'm unable to use the JAWSCursor to review the screen. after routing
JAWS to PC, JAWS just repeats "blank" with whatever I press, cursor keys,
page down/up, tab/shift+tab, etc. I'm not sure if there's a setting to
enable/disable. Uninstalling/reinstalling doesn't help, the problem remains.
I'm using JAWS 14 on Windows 7.
