MessageOh, no, I don't hate Microsoft otherway I'd use another OS. I'm windows
user, but mozilla firefox is more secure, uses less resources and is faster
than IE. It's true that jaws has some small problems with firefox, but if you
learn how to manage it's ok. Since jaws 9.0.2152 we have support for firefox
3.0. It's true that jaws works better with IE. In the beginning I was skeptical
with firefox and the tab browsing, but IE7 also implemented this and when I
managed to use it, I turned to firefox. There's nothing wrong to use browser
different than IE. If Opera browser was accessible with jaws maybe I'd use
that. It's even smaller than firefox and has more features.

I'm certainly not the expert on this subject, but from what I have read,
Firefox offers no substantial advantages over IE for JAWS users. In fact, the
latest version of Firefox seems to have a few quirks that JAWS has trouble
handling. So if you're happy with IE, there's probably no compelling reason to
switch to Firefox. I suspect that many people use Firefox simply because they
hate Microsoft so much, not because IE is an inferior product.

Hi folks,
Lately I have been reading a lot about "Mozilla FireFox." I am curious, is
there any really compelling reason for a blind person to jump ship from "MSIE7?
I am using jaws 8.latest and windows-XP Pro. I am not interested in
changing applications such as my E-mail client "MS-Outlook-XP" or anything else
for that matter. I am interested in features and benefits, learning curve and
simplicity of changeover.
