Hi Mario, Control + W, closes individual tabs. Moving through tabs is not a jaws specific function, so you can use the firefox commands. They are the same as in IE. Ctrl+tab will move you to the next tab. Ctrl+shift+tab will move you to the previous tab. Ctrl+1 through 0 on the number row will move you directly to the corresponding opened tab. If you want to turn off tab browsing in Firefox, for those who are interested. When Firefox is open, do the following: 1. Press alt+t to get to the tools menu, then the letter O to get to Options. 2. You will land in a list of categories in which you can use the up and down arrow keys to navigate. Arrow either up or down until you hear the word "Tabs." 3. Tab once, and you will hear the following. "Open windows in a new tab instead." By default, it is checked. 4. Press the spacebar to uncheck it. If it is already unchecked, leave it alone. Everything else is optional as you tab through the dialogue. Personal preference and experimentation is ok. 5. Tab till you hear the ok button, and activate it with the spacebar or enter key. You shouldn't need to, but maybe close and re-open Firefox again if you feel you need to do so for peace of mind. Take care.
