Hello everyone,

So I'm pretty sick of Internet Explorer and its foolish foibles. I'd like to 
get on board with Firefox at last, but the last time I attempted this with JFW 
was years ago, and it simply didn't work very satisfactorily.

Now I have Jaws 11 and windows XP, and I'd like to ask you folks what the 
latest version of Firefox I can use might be that will work pleasantly with my 
Jaws version. I'd also like to know:

If the programme generally works smoothly and has scripts designed comparably 
to the Explorer ones, so that it works efficiently with Jaws
Whether the programme crashes frequently, like Explorer seems to do on "fancy" 
pages
If there are any add-ons or plug-ins that you people use and find worthy that I 
might also try. I know of Noscript and I think I'll definitely be getting that 
one.

ANy thoughts? Recommendations?

Thanks.
