Thanks for the info, Sarah. I'm assuming that it doesn't hurt to have both
I E and FireFox installed on the same computer? The only reason I'm asking
is that I've heard that AOL and I E don't always get along very well
together. That could be because AOL has its own version of IE, though. Or
does it?! Oh, dear, I'm not sure. <Smile>

Firefox is certainly worth trying. You just have to make sure that you download version 1.5 which is called a release canidate (RC). You can get the web address and a few useful hotkeys from the JAWS help and that's about all you will need. Firefox will import any Internet Explorer settings you would like. I imported my favorits, which are called bookmarks in Firefox, but I made absolutely no other changes to its settings. It's been my default browser for a day and a half now and with the amount I use the Internet normally, as well as some extra stuff just for testing purposes, I am pretty sure it's working well. If you would like to know about anything different that i find with it I could write you off list. Let me know if you'd like that.

I submitted "Right to Die" a Nero Wolfe novel by Rex Stout today. It is
182 pages long and edited. I think it only has a few mistakes in it that i
couldn't fix without help from the print book which I had to return too
soon. I hope someone would like to validate it.
In case anyone is interested, the book was uploaded with the assistence of
JAWS version 7 and the firefox version 1.5 browser. I had no trouble what
so ever with the submit page and found that the browse button was even
announced while I was in forms mode. All the JAWS features that work in
Internet Explorer seem to work just the same with firefox.
Later I found one bug, though. Shift-Enter only works to open a link in a
new page if you tab to the link. If you just arrow to the link and hit
Shift-Enter you will open whatever link you last tabbed to. I guess some
issues are to be expected with the first try at accessiblity in a product.
Firefox 1.5 isn't even publically released yet. It's basically still in
beta, though it seems to function just fine.
