[nfbcs] Mozilla Firefox not accessible with JAWS 13.0?

[Aaron Cannon]

I also use Firefox 10.0.2 with Jaws 13, and no problems aside from
Firefox sometimes crashing after grabbing well over a gig of memory.
But aside from that, it seems to work well.  Not sure what could be
the problem for you.  You might try giving FS a call if you can't
resolve it on your own.
