[Blindmath] An issue with JAWS and Wolfram Alpha -- how can this be resolved?

Hello to everyone.
To introduce myself, I study music composition, I'm also a piano and flute
player, and I'm very interested in lots of things concerning musical
acoustics, microtonal and historical tunings, or digitized audio. To access
my computer, I use JAWS essentially on a daily basis.
Now, why am I writing to this group ... I sometimes use Wolfram Alpha (not
very often, but occasionally I do). And I've observed a strange thing
happening. After I type an expression into the input field and the new
webpage comes up, I can happily click the links to solutions or alternate
forms when I'm running Internet Explorer. Surprisingly, when I try to do the
same in another browser like Firefox or perhaps Google Chrome, the solutions
or alternate forms are interpreted by JAWS as graphics which can't be
reached by the JAWS cursor, which means I can't simulate a left-mouse-click
which would copy the expression into the input field. Does this mean that no
other browser than IE is able to tell JAWS that these are actually links
which should be possible to activate like any other link?
Thank you in advance for any suggestions.
Petr from Brno, Czech Rep.
