I would respectfully disagree. Although the Webvisam add-on certainly enhances Firefox's functionality, it still has a number of serious shortcomings for me to consider as my primary browser. First of all, the Find function (Control F) does not work particularly well, even with JAWS 9. And Firefox does not provide any audible alert when you access a web page that contains RSS feeds. Plus, the Webvisam adds a firecracker sound effect which I find really annoying after a while. And in side-by-side comparison, Firefox does not appear to load web pages any faster than IE. So for me, IE is the winner and still champion.
