I'm using FF as I've set webvisum to automatically open, and I'm captcha solving every day. Other than that, ff works well for me really. I don't think it's any faster than ie 7 though, and like you Carol I didn't really want to change either. The only tiny issue is that when I log into my account (BT) Jaws doesn't read the password box, and the cursor doesn't drop into it either. I just press down arrow once to overcome this. No other issues as yet, though I was managing to play Youtube videos just fine through IE and now I can't through FF. It says that either Javascript is disabled, (which it is not) or I need to update Flash, (which may be true). Not sure what the truth is there. Might have to use IE to see what happens.

It's true, I haven't used it a great deal but IE does all I want it to do and I didn't really want to change, so I suppose that's my preference. -- Carol carol.pearson29@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx ---- Original Message ---- From: Peter Beasley To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, April 29, 2009 11:51 AM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Need a link please > I disagree with you re firefox.
