Moving through tabs is not a jaws specific functionality, 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.

Re: [Blind-Computing] firefox question
Assuming you installed webvisum, When you clicked on the fire fox browser, Jaws should have announced ... You are logged into webvisum. close this message If you have no need for Webvisum it will just sit there until you key stroke it into service. For instance if you load a page that does not have a capture immage and use the key combination (control, alt, plus 6) on the number's row, Jaws will announce ... No capture immage found on this page. close this message. I've been thinking about that little tag, close this message. The only thing I can figure is a sighted person using Webvisum might need to click once Webvisum performs a task. Just a thought.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Firefox question
I switch often between IE and FireFox. In fact I only really use fireFox to access inaccessible capture. The easiest way to switch between IE and Mozilla Firefox is to ' 1. Whilst in IE Press F6 to go to the address bar. 2 , Press Control C to copy the contents of the address bar. 3. Open Fire Fox and press F6 again to go to the address bar here. 4. Press control v to paste the address from your IE page and press enter. The page you were on in IE will then open in FireFox as well. The downside with switching between IE and FireFox is that they tend to quiz you as to whether you want them to be the default browser all the time but you can set this check to off in preferences.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Firefox question
Hi John, I have just installed Firefox for the first time and I am using Google as my Home Page. 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.
