[GUI-Talk] JAWS Now Supports Firefox Again

[Brian Blair]

I think what's changed here is the newest version of Firefox 59.0.1.  
The Jaws 2018 that came out in February worked terribly sluggish for me 
with the earlier versions of Firefox Quantum. Several of the Windows 7 
and one Windows 8 machine I work with updated in recent days to Firefox 
59 and JAWS and Firefox now work much better.  I then upgraded Jaws to 
the March release but I'm not sure that made any difference and VFO 
makes no mention of speed improvements for Firefox in their release 
notes for the March version.
