Sometimes you can just tab after typing the search stuff.  Is that possible 
with Firefox?  It works with Internet Explorer.

  Subject: Annoying Forms Mode Glitch With Firefox



  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
