[JAWSLite] Re: JAWS and Firefox

I'm not encountering this problem with FF3 in Google. Like you, I navigate 
those pages with h for heading. On pages where I do experience the problem, 
I go into insert-F7 only when I'm in the proximity of a link that won't work 
without that extra step.

Also, I should add that this is especially problematic for me when I use 'h' 
to move through links that are also headers, which is my prefered method for 
moving through google search pages. I dislike the links dialog because then 
I can't read the context info for each hit as easily.

I find if I alternate between using the application key and the right mouse 
key to bring up the context menu, this opens the right link most of the 
time. This is not consistent on all pages and I wonder if it has anything to 
do with the page layout or the way the pages are coded.

I sometimes have problems where JAWS doesn't move the link selection along 
with the navigation cursor in FF3.

I will navigate down to a link I want, press enter or the right click menu 
key and open in new window, but the link that gets opened is far up the 
page. If I use tab instead it will get the right link but that is far 
slower.

Has anyone else experienced this and is there a workaround?
