I am happy to report that WebVisum does solve The Ryan Air captcha in two
different versions of Mozilla Firefox: versions 11 and 13.0.1.
The site itself is sluggish to respond but accurate if you use the tab key
and a lot of patience. It is also important to press "enter" on each of the
four fields: Departure and arrival cities and departure and arrival dates
otherwise you get a warning that JAWS cannot read except for the OK button
at the bottom of the warning! This left me guessing which field was causing
the problem. However, tabbing around the first four fields showed which one
was not filled in correctly. but s
All the best,
Cearbhall

I may do that in my own time. Whether ryanAir works with it or not, there
are thousands of sites that do and a few thousand that don't.
