Andre,

As far as your "history" question, there's a simple fix. In Firefox, go to Tools, then Option. In the combo box, choose General, and then press Tab. In the combo Box that says, "When Firefox starts..." you're probably on the option to open tabs from your last session. Choose either blank page or home page, and that behavior will stop. If you have a lot of tabs that keep opening up, that could cause the slowdown you're experiencing, especially if you have either a slow Internet connection, a slow processor, or a low amount of RAM.

Does anyone know how to turn off FF history?  Instead of going to the FF
home page when FF is opened.  It goes to the last page visited instead.
Then control tabbing goes through a history of pages I have visited.
One problem is that FF is very slow and causes JAWS to stop talking within
the application.  And when I try TABbing back and forth JAWS gets stuck in
the transition between alt-tab applications.  Then I have to reboot to
resolve.
I think the FF history is bogging things down and I would like to turn it
off.  And possibly turn off cookies and anything else that would make FF
faster.
I use Win 7, Office 2010 and JAWS 15 on a Dell Laptop. Thanks for any ideas. Andre
