The one main issue I have with the new Firefox is that it doesn?t seem to
work with Google reader. In IE and even when Firefox 3.0 was using
thedefault scripts, navigation Google reader was quite easy. Just skim the
updates by heading like in IE, but now that I typed in the Firefox 3.0 in
the config file, Reader and headings don?t seem to work. If you stay with
the default scripts, then what won?t work if the control f command.
Hopefully the new Jaws will fix this issue.
All that aside, Firefox seems to have more stuff to play with. I Especially
like the fact that you can have multiple downloads in just one window and
you can even close the THE DOWNLOADS WINDOW ALL TOGETHER WHILE in firefox
and have one less window open.

Oh, 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.
