Just out of interest I downloaded and installed Jaws 9 to see if that solved the problem with FireFox refusing to let Jaws run the Insert F5 command more than once on a web page.
This remains a problem as shortcut keys like F or pressing tab will not go to form fields in proper sequence on some pages. Unfortunately this incompatibility still exists between FireFox and Jaws 9 as well as Jaws 8 so it would still be impossible for me to use Jaws 9 and FireFox to enter my bank. So back to IE again.

This is why I use Insert F5 on these pages to resolve this problem. I would post a link to demonstrate this problem but it tends to occur on secure bank logon or payment pages so it is not possible to link.
