Ian.
Something I didn't clarify when bringing this up yesterday. The problem I had
with Jaws 10 and FF 3 was when trying to export my FF bookmarks. I was
following the instructions on the site and it said to go into organize
bookmarks. Then I think I had to click on manage bookmarks or something and a
dialog box was supposed to come up giving me the option to save them. Nothing
very visible came up and when I used jaws cursor, I could see a few graphical
buttons or something. when I tried to click on them nothing happened. I
wanted to export the FF specific bookmarks to import them into IE. I could
have both browsers open and do the copy paste thing with pages loaded, but
thought I'd be able to do it the other way. Perhaps you can give me
instructions on how to export my bookmarks through FF. Thanks.
Using FF 3.08, J 10 with last update and Vista Home Premium.
Jill.

I am still waiting for problems with Firefox 3 and JAWS. I still haven't
encountered any.

ahha! Now seems like the right time to post something I've found out. I'm
having exactly the same problem as described above. Here's a response I got
from a guy on the Webvisum mailing list. I believe he knows what he's talking
about. Webvisum has asked him to help out in the programing, so seems like he
knows his stuff.
WHere are some obvious problems,
1. FF3 is actually not recommended at the moment, 2.3 is recommended
for all screen readers; maybe you could try that....
2. When you are using flash player, you can go to the website listed,
or follow their links, and you can try it with Internet Explorer but
upload it into your firefox browser.
What I would say, seriously, is that going to IE again might be easier
for your setup, or redownload the entire thing. It would take yo
uabout a half an hour probably, and would be rather easy to work out.
Freedom scientific actually doesn't think that VISTA or FF3 are
accessible, so they don't recommend the usage of the two products,
especially not together."
Now with this in mind, I've been trying to find a download of 2.3, but no
joy. So either Window-eyes users have got the advantage over us Jaws users, or
they're using 2.3. Stupid thing is, even the link on Webvisum is for 3.08 and
that's what they seem to recommend. I got mine from the official site. so
I've set IE again as my default, and just use FF for captcha stuff.

Negoslav,
Thanks first for your answers.
My question to you and others, is:
When I open some websites, I get an alert message that tells me to
install Adobe Flash player.
I go on it, and press Manual instal and it takes me to the Adobe website,
but there, I can not get to the download. I mean, I find the Agree and install
now link, but it doesn't open the option to save or run the adobe Flash player.
What can you suggest me to do here?
Thanks much

See my answers below.
I found the latest version of Firefox that is 3.0.10.
I do understand that some of the friends that have version 3.5 of FF
are using the beta version, is it correct?
Yes, you are correct.
When I click ctrl+b to get my bookmarks - I have to type in a search
edit the name of the website that I need, but my question, how can I get
directly to the list, the whole list of my bookmarks, as I do with IE by
pressing:
ctrl+i?
Press alt+b to go to the bookmarks menu. There you can see your
favorites and navigate by first letter.
And, any tips for using FF you can give here, are greatly appreciated.
If you have specific questions, go on.
Negoslav
