I've been using facebook lately and I recognize that they've started
using more ajax in their website, which makes things easier for
sighted folks, and is sure to cause us problems.

As has been noted elsewhere, using the latest versions of jaws (jaws
10), window eyes (not sure), and firefox (3.x) will improve things.
Firefox is a replacement for your internet explorer browser and can be
found here http://www.mozilla.org/firefox

Alternatively, you can try using the mobile version of facebook.
Mobile doesn't mean you have to use it from your mobile phone, it just
means that it is a version of facebook which will work better on
mobile phones.  Try pointing Internet Explorer at
http://m.facebook.com/  Note that you'll need internet explorer 7.
Internet explorer 6 won't work.  You can find out which version of IE
you're using by going to the help menu, and selecting "about internet
explorer"

Hope this helps,

Jim
