Marvin,
It is not necessary to sign up with Youtube to watch (or perhaps listen is
more appropriate) to your favorite Star Trek episodes. Just visit
Youtube.com, locate the search edit field by pressing E (assuming you're
using JAWS), and type in something like Star Trek-Next Generation.
You may have inadvertently engaged the muting funtion, which will silence
the audio. Pressing F7 toggles the muting on and off, so try this and see
if your sound comes back.

The best way to determine whether Firefox is right for you is to download it
