[Nfb-web] JAWS Navigation on Firefox

[Wunder, Gary]

I think this has been identified for fixing in Jaws Update 1 for Version 11. It is always a good idea to open a combo box with alt down-arrow.

Warmly,

Gary

Hello,

I'm giving Firefox another try, this time version 3.6.  Unfortunately I'm still noticing instances where JAWS 11 will lose its place on a page when you go to the previous page.  Normally the cursor would return to the link where you were originally.  Instead, the cursor jumps to the top of the document.  Also, dropdown boxes are an experiment.  Sometimes you need to use Alt and arrows.  Sometimes you need only use arrows, but then the page won't automatically show your selection.  You have to manually refresh the page.  So, are there any add-ons out there that rectify some of these minor annoyances?  Or is it just Freedom Scientific not writing sufficient scripts to deal with the issues.
