On the topic of Firefox, my understanding is that the JAWS cursor
still does not work with Firefox. Something about how Firefox was
coded doesn't allow for the JAWS cursor to work. I have largely given
up on using Firefox unless something absolutely won't work on IE
because chances are that if the website isn't accessible using IE,
it's most likely not much easier to access with Firefox, and you don't
have the luxury of trying the Jaws cursor as a back-up. I would be
curious for other people's take on this though, as I know there are a
lot of blind folks out there who like Firefox very much. Thanks.
