Jaws will almost work the same, except you'll have to turn the hardware acceleration off if you want the Jaws cursor to work. Otherwise, the browser's own command structure is a little different, but you'll get used to it in no time.

Of course, iE will still be on your machine and you can still use it if you get stuck. I use both myself; IE seems to work better with a few things but chances are that if you have a problem with a page in IE it will work in FIrefox.

Subject: Internet Explorer To Firefox


Hello, everyone.

The University where I teach is very strongly urging all of us to switch
from Internet Explorer to another internet browser such as Firefox, in light
of recent Internet Explorer security issues.

I'm seriously considering making the switch to firefox, and would like to
know how much of a transition this will be in terms of basic internet
navigation.

Does Jaws operate in basically the same way with Firefox as it does with
Internet Explorer?

In other words, to the same basic Jaws key strokes and commands work with
Firefox?

I'm using Windows 7 and Jaws 14 here.

Thank you!
