FF6 will work fine with Jaws. I'm running it now. Only difference is that you'll be without a status bar, until you install the Status-4-Ever extention.

topic and is helpful to some. As far as I can tell, Google Chrome is ok, the welcome screen is a bit annoying but if you tab once it seems to put you on link to google.co.uk which if you then press enter on you go to the standard page from where you can access all the usual google items. I'm not sure all the buttons on the welcome page are labelled as it just says numbers so I think we miss out on things like translate. The address bar is called "location" and that was a bit confusing at first but that's definitely where you type in your address, using alt plus D also takes you to this location box. Putting in the address into this box does work as I got onto a page I wanted using it. It was quick to load too (which is one of its promises). I know these things are a much of a muchness, but as someone who has always used IE since the advent of it, (and safari on my iphone) I don't see a major problem with it. The download was very quick and the installation did itself and you will have a link to it on your desktop. I think you can probably set it to be your default browser if you want (actually i think it sets itself which could be a bit irritating),. I'm not sure how things like cookies work as I noticed when trying to use it to log into somewhere I couldn't get my username which I used to be able to get it to autofill by using the arrows. This could be annoying, but I guess there must be an autocomplete option somewhere. The menu works by pressing alt and it reads downwards instead of across. It has similar things to IE but of course you need to import your bookmarks (favourites) as it's a different browser. There is an options setting but it's structured like a webpage and the categories for clicking on don't come up as links, also I found I had to use the insert/escape keys to refresh when I wanted a different page when I was changing the settings but that's probably to do with my jaws settings. It's accessible enough though not fullproof. Kirsten.
