[Trainer-talk] Problems with Links in Firefox

[Thea Eaton]

I would try JAWS with Internet Explorer, Firefox does not have the most
stable MSAA support for screen readers. Accessibility is not high on
Mozilla's priority list, so many times a new version of Firefox will be
released with unstable support for tabbing, for instance, or will have
screen reader related issues. I would always recommend using IE with JAWS,
IE is the most reliable browser.

Subject: [Trainer-talk] Problems with Links in Firefox

I'm using JAWS 10 with Windows XP and Firefox 3.  When I press Enter on some
links, they don't work.  I must locate them with the JAWS cursor, then use
the Left Click button.  The other problem I'm having is probably related.
When I use the JAWS cursor and Left Click button to start a download, the
computer tries to open the file.  A dialog comes up that says it is a binary
file, and gives the choice to either save or cancel.  I have looked in
Firefox settings to try to fix the problem, without success.  I have also
checked the newsgroup to see if anyone else has had the problem.  Any ideas?
Thanks.
