Similar considerations apply to Window-Eyes.  IE 9+ and Firefox render their 
graphics in a way that traditional screen readers can't decipher. They have 
to build a model of the page and its dynamic behavior from programmatic data 
called the object model, and it is difficult to reconstruct a picture from 
that. But often you can route the mouse pointer or JAWS cursor to an element 
and click it, so that you can activate it even if the Enter key doesn't 
work.

Subject: Re: JAWS and Mozilla FireFox

Hello Howard,

I also use Mozilla FireFox and I have the same problem not being able to use
the JAWS cursor at least when I am on the web.
Having said that, I still prefer FireFox to IE11.

I contacted FS about 3 months ago and talked with two different tech support
people and they both said that the JAWS cursor would not work with Firefox.
They said it was on the list of things to look into.

When I was running an earlier version of FireFox (I don't remember which
version) on Windows XP the JAWS cursor did work well once I went into the
FireFox configuration.  It was a detailed process which involved checking
and/or unchecking a couple of boxes.
I haven't been able to get the JAWS cursor to work at all using a current
version of FireFox and Windows7.

If you get it going please post it to the list as to how to do it.

I have just started looking at Mozilla FireFox as a replacement for IE.

The JAWS Cursor does not seem to work in FireFox.  Is anyone else experienc=
ing this and if so, what's the solution.  So far, I can't figure it out.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Someone on this list always solves the problem.
