That's my trouble is quite often pages never fully load in firefox. If it weren't for that problem, I'd love it! That is a problem though! Even with the JAWS cursor you can't get much if the page doesn't load, and on the rare occasion that you can find some information, you can't route the pc or the virtual cursor to it when the page is not loaded fully.

I only experience these problems when a page hasn't quite loaded and I
start navigating it.  It looks loaded to sighted users, but graphics
or something are still coming across, or dynamic updates.  Once a page
is fully loaded (some never are) I no longer experience what you
describe.

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?
