I use JAWS 11, and my OS is XP, like yours.

You mention speed. I suspect at least four elements determine a browser's
speed: the browser itself, the ISP, JAWS and your computer's processor. My
first experience with Firefox was also unfavorable,but then Firefox became
both accessible and faster on my system. However, the speed advantage for me

has gone back to IE8. The change I made that you don't appear to have is
switching ISPs, but perhaps there is some other factor at work.

I have solved my IE crashing problem by being careful to limit the number of

IE pages I have open  at any one time. My system doesn't crash when there
are two, three or even four pages open, but at some point after that things
fall apart.

I find I use Firefox when IE8 doesn't do what I need. Yadiel alerted you to
Webvisum, which is the single best reason to use Firefox. It solves the
CAPTIA problem that bedevils the online experience of visually impaired
computer users.

Hello everyone,

So I'm pretty sick of Internet Explorer and its foolish foibles. I'd like to

get on board with Firefox at last, but the last time I attempted this with
JFW was years ago, and it simply didn't work very satisfactorily.

Now I have Jaws 11 and windows XP, and I'd like to ask you folks what the
latest version of Firefox I can use might be that will work pleasantly with
my Jaws version. I'd also like to know:

If the programme generally works smoothly and has scripts designed
comparably to the Explorer ones, so that it works efficiently with Jaws
Whether the programme crashes frequently, like Explorer seems to do on
"fancy" pages
If there are any add-ons or plug-ins that you people use and find worthy
that I might also try. I know of Noscript and I think I'll definitely be
getting that one.

ANy thoughts? Recommendations?

Thanks.
