Re: [JAWS-Users] 2 Firefox questions
Dont' worry, I have this problem on many sites using firefox 3.6.12 and jaws 11. Usually insert+esc solves the problem. It's a pitty that we have to lose time this way, but at least it works.

Thank you for the suggestion. As I use Firefox more, it seems that the problem I had with the combo/list boxes was mostly on one site, making me believe it has something to do with how that site was designed.
