Hi Don,
What tells you that you'd like to open the current page or link in Firefox.
Thanks.
Reed

To expand on Everett's handy Internet Explorer script to open the current
page in Firefox. The script below is a nice companion to Everett's script.
It will open the current link on a the page in Firefox. I use the keystroke
Alt + Control + Shift +f to run the script. I may need to change this since
I am missing several fingers and this is somewhat difficult. I find this
particularly useful when browsing videos and find a link I might want to
download with the Firefox extension, Video Download Helper.
Script OpenInFirefox ()
Var
Object oDoc,
Object oLink,
string sExecute
Let oDoc = IEGetCurrentDocument () ; Gets the object for the current page
Let oLink = oDoc.activeElement ; gets the element with focus Let sExecute =
oLink.href ; Creates the statement to execute.
Let sExecute = "firefox " + sExecute
; SayString ("run command: " + sExecute) SayMessage (OT_JAWS_MESSAGE,
"Opening link in Firefox.")
Run (sExecute)
EndScript
