Hi, That's a Jaws issue, sometimes it opens in the right place, sometimes not, you could probably set up a place marker permanently and have JFw move to that spot when it sees the Google.com domain.
Do a google search for Webvisum, it takes a bit to get registered with email verification and well, there are a few hoops to jump through but when it works, it's sweet.

When I open Firefox/Google home page, how do I get it to open on the edit field so I only have to press enter to open the edit box to type in a search term? I am running XP Home & Jaws 10 latest. Also where can I download that web visum captia thing? The website that was posted earlier doesn't work? I am currently having to arrow around until I find an edit box before I can type in a search term. All advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks much, take care.

The only real difference you'll see is that you use control L to open a location in stead of Control plus O in IE. But once you get used to it, the Control plus L keystroke works in IE as well. The page loads with Firefox and Jaws are much faster too.

Webvisum only works with Firefox, so if you want the ability to solve image captias without sighted help, this is the only way to go. Firefox is not drastically different from IE, so you can use it right away withot having to learn a lot of new keystrokes. I use IE as my default browser, but rely on Firefox with Webvisum whenever I encounter one of those nasty captias. And don't count on FS to include an image captia feature in JAWS anytime soon.
