Larry,
I just followed the instructions I provided in my previous message, and had no
problem making the accessible version of Google my Firefox home page. Be sure
you enter the URl exactly as shown below into the Home Page edit field of Main.
The easiest way to do this is to copy and paste. After you tab to the Okay
button and hit Space, close Firefox and relaunch it. This should bring up the
accessible version of Google as your new home page. Also, be sure that the
first option in Main is set to Home Page.

Jerold,
I tried that in the past and it works until I close Fire Fox. Upon reopening
the browser it defaults to the original Google home page.

Hi Larry,
To make the accessible version of Google your Firefox home page, access the
Options submenu of the Firefox tools menu and arrow to Main. Tab to the Home
Page edit field and type in or or copy and paste the Url below into the edit
field. Tab to Okay, and you should be good to go.

Hi Folks,
I am using jaws 9 with Fire Fox .current and the WebVisum plug in.
I have Google accessible search selected as my home page and it works well
with IE-7. The problem occurs when I load Fire Fox and it insists on defaulting
to the standard Google home-page.
Obviously this isn't the end of the world however I would like to maintain
the accessible search version of Google if possible.
TNX
Larry
