Subject: RE: FireFox
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.
