I agree that Firefox is great for keeping the adware/spyware away.
However, it is not screenreader accessible -- I have tried and tried.
May I suggest that if you are running Windows XP that you download
Service Pack 2.  It helps cut back on the spyware and adware
considerably.  I have also found that running a weekly scan of the free
version of Adware (you can download the JAWS scripts from
www.jfwlite.com) helps too.

Firefox add-ons

These days, computer users are deep in battle with adware and spyware.
Given the programming ability on the dark side, Microsoft's Internet
Explorer is just too dangerous.

That's why most of us at the office switched to Firefox. It's fast,
and, so far, safe.

Firefox has some great add-ons, too. Known as extensions, they
make the browser more convenient to use. Auto Copy, for example,
automatically sends selected text to your clipboard. And FlashGot
handles massive downloads.

Some sites are written specifically for Internet Explorer. When you
hit one, use IE View. This extension opens Internet Explorer. When
you finish that site, close IE and go back to Firefox.

Check out this site for these and other enhancements to your
Firefox browser.
