Re: [JAWS-Users] version 16
The only issue I have with the Amazon site with IE 11 and Jaws is that occasionally, -- and I'd have to play around to find a specific example now--there are buttons that won't activate in the usual way unless you use the Jaws cursor to left-click on them. The other thing I wish Jaws would read correctly is the ratings page where you can rate Amazon's service, or do product reviews. It won't read the star selection for 1-star to five-star. If I'm writing a product review, there is still a link to go to the old rating page, which does work. But, if you interact with Amazon a lot, other ratings don't read correctly such as rating a customer service or order clarification response.

Re: [JAWS-Users] version 16
I use the regular Amazon site all the time and with Firefox 35 it works normally as my last order had the free shipping. Around Christmas I had a great deal of trouble with the site as I could not change the number of items I wanted but now that works as well. They even have the beginning of the shopping cart finally marked with a heading so I can find it by navigating by heading since in the past it was confusing to find the actual items that were in the cart. I have my Firefox set to upgrade automatically since several of the last upgrades were for security reasons. You might want to update your Firefox as this version seems to work fine with Jaws 16. At least as well as IE in most cases. Now I only use IE if I have some difficulty with Firefox in checking something or other such thing... Just a suggestion.
