[nfbcs] Firefox and JAWS

[Tami Kinney]

Nicole,

I know with Linux and Orca, there are some problems with both Firefox 
and Mozilla Thunderbird in the Gecko accessibility layer. There is now a 
person at Mozilla dedicated to working on those accessibility hooks and 
all. With Orca, the Linux screen reader, I just periodically bring up 
the Orca preferences for Firefox or Thunderbird, click okay or apply to 
reload the Orca preferences and then live with the minor irritations. 
For now... It's getting better.

So I would recommend you report the behavior and bugs to both JAWS and 
to Mozilla for them to use in resolving the problems and bring 
accessibility back up to snuff!

Don't know if that helps, but... That's all I know. /grin/

When I press JAWS key F1, I get the JAWS does not know what kind of control this is message. I often have to use the JAWS cursor to get things working again. Before I report this to FS or Mozilla, I want to make sure that it is not just me. Also, I am using JFW 13, Windows XP Home, and MF 3.6.25.
