JAWS works well with Firefox, there are plenty keyboard commands, and there are only a few commands different for it than IE, like alt-b for Bookmarks (instead of Favorites). Flash is more of a problem in Firefox, where it's not as accessible, than it is in IE. I think most users find that to

I use both Internet Explorer and FireFox and find them to be pretty similar in accessibility. Webvisum is mainly just used for solving CAPTCHAs and isn't required for a screen reader to work with FireFox. You no longer need an invite to get a webvisum plugin. You can just sign up and get

The reason jaws fails you there, is because jaws has a nice bug when in some programs windows. The insert + f11 works, and arrowing to item works. It is when you hit enter on a choose you get the menu for task try or nothing. To keep that from happening. Just minimize all windows and do insert

Flash is handled a lot better with JAWS 12. It still usually doesn't read the button labels, but it does at least let you know that they are there, and that shortcoming is more the responsibility of the site developer than FS. As for installing Flash updates, I have read that folks have trouble
