Hi,
The release time for JAWS is projected to be September 26. There isn't
likely to be a large beta period for it. It will fully support firefox as
previously announced by yours truly.

I just got an announcement saying the Public Beta of Window-Eyes 5.5 is
Released and Ready for Download. The message says that this version
supports firefox.
Unfortunately I couldn't afford to keep up with updates for both JAWS and
Window-Eyes and I needed JAWS more at that time so I no longer have
Window-eyes. I am wondering if anyone has heard an actual projected date
or version number for JAWS that will support firefox. I just searched the
Freedom Scientific site for references and found absolutely nothing. They
better be working hard on it because they have lost this contest to
Window-Eyes and that doesn't look good. Just for confirmation of my
assumptions I did try firefox with JAWS version 6.0 and it certainly
doesn't work.
I also noticed that Freedom Scientific failed to provide any release notes
or new features list on the download page for JAWS version 6.2 and that's
pretty weird. Why update something if you aren't going to tell anybody
why? I've only heard that version 6.2 isn't as stable as version 6.0 so I
am not inclined to try it. :-)
