Thanks for that Firefox Google URL. I set it as my Firefox home page, and I no
longer have the glitch.

Gerald,
I'm finding something similar happens with google using IE8, which suggests
to me that Google has changed the way its search page works. It doesn't start
when I boot up, but after I've done a few searches. That has made me wonder
whether I'm inadvertently switching to a Google search page--there's more than
one--that creates problems for JAWS. Right now, that's speculation.
In case it helps, I open google at different addresses, depending on whether
I'm using IE8 or FF. These are:
IE8 Google search page: http://www.google.com/
FF Google search page:
http://www.google.com/firefox?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:off%20icial

Hi list. Since Firefox version 3.5 (I'm currently running version 3.6), I
have encountered an annoying glitch when trying to type in a serch term into
the search edit field of my Google home page using JAWS 9. When I hit Enter on
the search edit field, JAWS announces "forms mode on", and I can type in my
search phrase. But when I hit Enter again to initiate the search, nothing
happens unless I also press the numpad minus key, which actually turns off
forms mode and initiates the search. How can I fix this problem so that
pressing Enter after typing my search phrase into the edit field turns off
forms mode and initiates the search without also having to hit the numpad minus
key? Thanks.
Gerald
