RSS feeds in Firefox are totally inaccessible with JAWS. Unlike IE, firefox
provides no audible alert when you encounter a web page with RSS feeds. You
cannot assign a Windows sound scheme to the "feed discovered" event in
Firefox; you can only do so for IE, for obvious reasons. And JAWS does not
announce "RSS Feed" as it does in IE. So there is no way to bookmark these
pages without sighted assistance. There is also no way to import your list
of feeds into Firefox from IE. So if you are a heavy user of RSS feeds,
you'd better stick with IE, and consider using Firefox only for its Webvisum
feature.

Subject: [Blind-Computing] accessibleRSS options for firefox
Hi all,
I'm thinking of switching completely over to firefox for all internet
serfing over the next few weeks. The only problem i've got with firefox is
that I can't figure out how the live bookmarks work as it compares to RSS
feeds in IE. Could someone please explain how the reading of RSS feeds can
be done with a screen reader in firefox?
Aiden
