[nabs-l] P.S. Questions About FireFox

Mon Apr 27 20:40:18 UTC 2009

Antonio,

It seems I spoke to soon.  It was working there for a while, but now the
cursor gravitates to the bottom of the web page rather than the top.  Again,
this only happens when you Alt Tab back into a page.  I wonder if Window
Eyes has a similar problem?  You know, sometimes I wish JAWS were a little
human.  I'd smack him around I would.

Hi Antonio,

I downloaded the recent update for JAWS 10 earlier today.  All 
is better now, though why the problem should have been there in 
the first place is beyond me.  There are some components of 
Firefox that bug me, but overall I have to say the capacity to 
extend the browser to make customizations a huge benefit over 
its counterpart.

Hello Joe,

Firefox is a good browser, but not one without its bugs.

The loss of cursor position is a jaws issue I wrote to freedom 
scientific about, and that they are aware of.

Doesn't hurt for them to hear from one more consumer, if you 
want to send their tech support a quick message.
