Dave,
As an update to a previous message, I installed the 2008 copy of TaxAct the other day. Unfortunately, I found that the simple modifications to existing scripts that I've made in the past are insufficient to make them work with the 2008 version of TaxAct. It will take someone with more extensive scripting experience to do the job. The user interface has changed just enough to keep JFW from recognizing various controls in the program. Tabbing to what should be a button, for example, results in nothing being spoken.
I have made requests on both the JAWS Scripts list and the GW Micro list for scripting help. I'm not interested in being a "proud JAWS user;" I just want something that works.

It's that time of year again. Anyone know if there are scripts available for 
the 2008 version?

I know, but for the life of me I cannot get hold of the quicktime add-on, or 
any other add-on that will work.

Brant, this has nothing to do with Webvisum. Firefox requires separate
add-ons for you to play media. It will not use the add-ons provided by
Windows or Internet Explorer.

I would like to comment on the use of Jaws 10 with firefox. Every time you 
Alt + tab out of your browser, the virtual PC will lose your place in
whatever tabs you have open. I never found this problem with Jaws 9, in
fact, Jaws 9 worked very well with firefox.

Something else I would like to mention is a website
http://www.webvisum.com
This is a site for a plugin specially for the visually impaired which
amongst other things, will do OCR on those pesky image verification things 
on some sites.

My only problem with firefox is the fact that I cannot get the Plugin to
stream media from sites, for example, the system sounds on www.zonebbs.com 
and/or the welcoming sound on www.whitestick.co.uk.

If anyone can help with that pesky lill plugin, contact me. See below in
my
signature.

Ray has just responded by warning you about Firefox crashing on certain
websites. Unlike him, I do not have that problem on Amazon. However, a
number of JAWS users have reported problems using JAWS 9 with Firefox, as 
do I. So staying with JAWS 9 is a good idea for now.

Here's the Website I use to download Firefox:
