Kerby,

When you're in Firefox 3, and press Insert+q, does it say default settings are 
loaded or Firefox settings are loaded?  I had to do some playing around in a 
JAWS configuration file to get the Firefox scripts to load.  Then when I looked 
at the script file, it didn't look like it had been modified since JAWS 8.  But 
with the default settings loaded, the Find command did not work correctly.

  Jaws 9 works just fine with firefox 3 and I signed up with myspace and 
webvisum worked great and was able to do it without assistance.  I love it.  
Also, there's a conference that was archived on accessibleworld.org that 
somebody did last Monday on webvisum too.

    As I recall, someone on the list posted a message saying that he was having 
trouble getting Webvisum to work.  I too had trouble getting it to recognize a 
CAPTCHA until today.  I found that the checkbox for loading images in the 
Options dialog under the Tools menu of Firefox 3 was unchecked by default.  A 
CAPTCHA, which is a graphic image, can't be found by Webvisum if it doesn't 
load into the browser.

    Once I allowed images to load, I was able to solve the CAPTCHA on YAHOO.COM 
and set up an account without assistance.

    To read about Webvisum and see what else it can do, go to

    http://www.webvisum.com

    Since you will need Firefox 3 for Webvisum to work, you might want to wait 
for the public beta of JAWS 10, which is supposed to have better support for 
this version of the browser.
