Hi Jillian,
I hope you're well.
Yes, Firefox is accessible, and the browser is free. The commands you use with
your screen reader in Internet Explorer will work with Firefox and vice versa.
Bear in mind that you use control t to open the page dialog box in Firefox
rather than control o.
I'm not sure what you meant by character recognition, but there is a plugin to
Firefox that will enable capchas to be read by screen readers.
Capchas are graphics containing text that people have to enter when they're
signing up for accounts on sites such as Facebook, Yahoo, Clickbank etc. A
plugin to Firefox called WebVisum will read some of them.
Hope this helps,
Ed

Subject: [access-uk] everything I need to know about Firefox
Hi.
I've been aware of Firefox for a while now, but had no idea it was even
accessible, let alone able to get around the issue of character recognition (or
at least that's the impression I get from this list). Anyway, Can anyone who
uses FF and Jaws 10 please fill me in on everything I need to know about
installing/using it. I've been on the site and downloaded it, though haven't
run it as yet. The version I got was free, which surprised me. So is there a
free and a pay for version? What add-ons do I need? Do I need Jaws scripts?
I have so many questions.
You can contact me off list if you like.
Using Vista Premium and original release of J 10.
Thanks for your help.
Jill.
