[blindlaw] Core Grammar for Lawyers

Thu Feb 4 14:20:24 UTC 2016

This actually makes me think that it may work with Firefox. It's not a
scientific study, but my experience has been that many websites which
work for Apple users, but don't work for Internet Explorer users,
frequently work with Firefox. I know the person asking the question
did so in regards to Internet Explorer, but Firefox is free, easy to
use with JAWS, and may offer a solution here.

Best,
Chris
