Hi, Ray.
Here's my experience with Firefox and JAWS.
I can navigate the secure pages of Amazon and numerous other websites using
Firefox 3.X and JAWS 10. However, the secure pages on one local website,
FreshDirect.com, do not work right with JAWS 10. The solution that
invariably solves the problem for me is to close JAWS 10 and load JAWS 9,
while keeping Firefox as my browser.
You allude to Webvisum as a reason to use Firefox, and I agree, even though
the clicks annoy me so much that I keep it inactive until I need to use the
recapture feature. I also like that it generates literally thousands of
fewer files than IE7 and, I think as a result, moves faster.
Each of our systems gives us different experiences. I offer my experience to
make sure no one is discouraged from trying Firefox just in case it works on
theirs.

I use JAWS 10. I sure hope that Mozilla can fix the crashes; but, I must
tell you. I took a look at the Mozilla support forum; and, I'm not the only
person having Firefox crashes. Many sited are also having this problem.
What a shame; for you see, I had been saying what a nice browser it was. I
had the choice between a stable browser and access to captcha solving.
Stable browsing won out.

Ray has just responded by warning you about Firefox crashing on certain
websites. Unlike him, I do not have that problem on Amazon. However, a
number of JAWS users have reported problems using JAWS 9 with Firefox, as do
I. So staying with JAWS 9 is a good idea for now.
Here's the Website I use to download Firefox:
