I have Firefox 3.6.1.7 installed on my XP computer, and it seems to work fine 
with JAWS 9.  But before I consider updating to Firefox 4.0, I installed the 
portable version of Firefox 4.0 to see how well it works with JAWS 9.  
Everything seems to work satisfactorally except for the Add-Ons submenu under 
Tools.    I was able to successfully install the Navigational Sounds, Plain Old 
Favorites and Webvisum add-ons after I launched Firefox 4 portable for the 
first time.  However, when I try to access the Add-Ons submenu under Tools, a 
page called Add-Ons Manager comes up, but there is no list box of installed 
add-ons (extensions) or any other menu options.  Obviously, if the add-ons 
work, they must be listed somewhere, but they don't show up on the Add-Ons 
submenu like they do in the full version of Firefox 3.6.  Has anyone else 
encountered this issue with Firefox 4?  Or is there a compatibility problem 
with JAWS 9?  Or are the Add-ons perhaps listed somewhere else where they can 
be accessed?  Thanks.
