[nfbcs] JAWS Now Supports Firefox Again

Sat Mar 24 17:12:46 UTC 2018

I've found Firefox and Chrome behave differently in terms of their
interactions with JAWS and NVDA (even with the ESR version of Firefox) and
having one to use when the other fails has been helpful personally and in my
job. I'm curious to hear that Edge is a viable option: I've never had any
luck with it.

A combination between Chrome IE, Edge, NVDA, and JAWS should just about do
the job. My experience is that Firefox and Chrome are so similar that having
one covers both browsers.

Greetings:

My experience with Chrome has been mixed. I still have Firefox ESR as my
default browser, and mostly it works. I think that the bad news is that the
blind person who can flip between different browsers depending on what works
better for the moment is the person with a better set of tools.

By May, when Firefox 60 comes out, we should see an improvement in
compatibility between JAWS and Firefox.

Cordially,

Curtis Chong

Hi everyone,

I am curious if anyone is using Microsoft Edge? I currently have Google
Chrome set as my default, and have looked at the Edge browser, but I haven't
used it yet.

I mostly use Chrome now and I changed about four months ago.

I used to be a devoted firefox user, but after this I switched completely to
google chrome a few weeks ago. Anyone else?

I have downgraded to the Firefox ESr. Firefox recommends that.
