[Nfb-web] Browser incompatabillity issue

[Lloyd Rasmussen]

You should get your Firefox updated to 3.5 or 3.6.  The latest versions of
3.6 have a feature for isolating one Firefox process from others so that the
whole browser doesn't crash; I'm not sure that this could be causing side
effects with Window-Eyes.  If you use FF 3.6, upgrades get pushed to you
automatically.  I'm finding FireFox to not be as useful on some sites such
as Facebook as it was a year ago.

In IE 8, for you developer types, press F12 and check out the developer
resources included with all copies of IE 8.  I think they could be useful to
us if carefully examined and understood.
