Yes, m.facebook.com isn't working. It isn't a JAWS problem. It might be practical for everyone on this list who is concerned about this to open the facebook.com page and before you even log in there is a link called: Help Center. Once there click on the link called Accessibility (someone here might be able to think of a better option, but this is the one that I used). Go down the page several paragraphs and you'll see a section called: How can I report a problem with the assistive technology I'm using? With in the paragraph below this heading there is a "Link Here" to report a problem. I clicked it and used the form that loaded to explain that m.facebook.com isn't working. I know that it isn't a JAWS problem, but this seemed to be the most practical way to let them know that it is JAWS users who are most discontent about the problem. If anyone reads the Help Center page and comes up with a different approach please share it. The problem really does seem to be related to a bug in the page. I have confirmed, without a doubt, that you get the same error if you don't have JAWS running.

I have been using IE 8 for a couple of months, and had no problem with Mobile Facebook until this morning. I just tried accessing M.facebook.com using Firefox 3.6 and had no problem loading the home page, so this problem is apparently limited to IE.Gerald ----- Original Message ----- *From:* katherineschulz6266@xxxxxxx <mailto:katherineschulz6266@xxxxxxx> *To:* jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> *Sent:* Thursday, March 04, 2010 2:28 PM *Subject:* Re: What's Going On With Mobile Facebook? I have had that since last fall. Someone said it depended on what version of IE you have, but I'm not certain about that.

Hi listers. This morning, when I attempted to access the Mobile Facebook home or log in page by visiting M.facebook.com, I unexpectedly got a file download dialog instead which didn't make any sense, because M.Facebook is a web site, not a file. The regular Facebook and Facebook lite web sites seem to be okay, but I prefer the mobile site because it seems to be the most JAWS accessible. Did something with M.facebook suddenly change overnight? Can anyone explain what's going on? Thanks. Gerald
