Gerry,If you're going to use Firefox, it should be an older version than the current one with your JAWS. (Version 3.5 or, at highest, 3.6.) You'll find older versions of Mozilla [note spelling] firefox at
www.oldversion.com/ or www.oldapps.com/ You may be able to find older versions of Firefox on www.mozillafirefox.com/have you tried the NVDA screen-reader? It's free, and is up to date, and is pretty good with later versions of Internet Explorer. check out
www.nvda-project.orgfor the download and documentation. (You might find the native eSpeak voices a little hard to get used to; but you could otherwise switch to a Microsoft or another SAPI voice.)
it is unclear from your message which version of JAWS and/or which version of internet Explorer you are using. I am therefore assuming JAWS8 and Internet Explorrer 8, which are quite incompatible.
