Re: Minor issue with Firefox and JAWS.

Hi,

yes I have the same observations with Firefox also 3.60. JAWS unlike in IE does 
not announce the tab you move to.

On pages where IE follow the links in the order they appear on a page, Firefox 
can make strange and annoying jumps from the place of the virtual cursor. It 
may just be different behavior but it feels like a bug when you suddenly land 
in the top of a page and not on the next link.

  On the other hand Firefox can sometimes spot Youtube embedded videos that IE 
does not spot on the same page, so different browsers for different pages.

    I've recently decided to give Firefox another try, and have just one very 
small problem with it. It happens when I'm using multiple tabs. Sometimes, when 
I'm looking at a page, JAWS will read pieces of one of the other pages I have 
open at the same time. Also, when multiple tabs are open, navigation becomes a 
small issue on the second or third tab, likely also due to the fact it's 
getting information from one of the other pages. So, for example, if I'm on a 
page that I know has more than 1 heading and try to navigate by heading, JAWS 
will either tell me there are none, or after the first two, wrap back around to 
the top. If I close the other tabs I have open, however, navigation returns to 
normal. I'm running Firefox 3.0 and JAWS 10. Is anyone else having this 
problem? And, anyone know the easiest way to fix it?
