Hi all,

In Firefox 4, when I press <ctrl+l> or <alt+d> to edit the address bar, jaws 
first says its current content but as soon as I press an arrow, <home> or <end> 
key in order to edit it, jaws seems completely lost, only saying "blank". The 
computer is running windows XP pro SP3.

Did anyone else notice this please? Is there a workaround for Jaws to say what 
we are actually doing when moving around the "Address" combo box? This problem 
did not occur with any version of Firefox 3.

I am posting this request to the jaws list because I also tried to edit Firefox 
4 address bar with NVDA on the same computer and it worked perfectly.

Many thanks in advance for any advice. Have a nice day. Chris D
