Yep. This is particularly good if certain parts of a site work better with
IE than Firefox or vice versa.
I was doing some on line shopping a few days ago and had the store's site up
with Firefox and my bank's page open with IE. by refreshing the IE page, I
could see exactly when the transaction took place and that I was charged the
correct amount. Very cool.

Victoria,
Unnecessary. you can have the two open separately at the same time, even
on the same page. they don't interfere with each other. You can alt-tab
from one to the other. .

Thank you All who gave me feedback on my question of Firefox verses
Internet Explorer! Your answers were very informative!
My conclusion, is to try Firefox, but not to c to be any more perfect
than IE.
However, I don't know how to set Fire Fox up as an alternative search
engine.
Let's say, I had IE open and was not happy with my search results; how
do I now put IE to sleep and bring up Firefox?
Again many thanks to all! Vicky

I use both Internet Explorer and FireFox and find them to be pretty
similar in accessibility.
Webvisum is mainly just used for solving CAPTCHAs and isn't required
for a screen reader to work with FireFox. You no longer need an invite
to get a webvisum plugin. You can just sign up and get one.
As far as flash goes, it is hit or miss on both sides. Listening to
samples on audible.com has been a problem for a long time. Apparently
in JAWS 12 it is no longer a problem. also System Access seems to have
had no issue with the samples for a while now. Having said that,
running JAWS 11 I cannot easily access samples on audible.com using
Internet Explorer, but have no problem accessing them when using
FireFox.
I see no reason not to have both browsers on your machine. It is very
nice to know that you can easily try a second browser if one is giving
you trouble. Also, the ability to automatically solve CAPTCHAs is
extremely satisfying.
