JAWS 7.0 Compatible With Firefox.

Published: Jun 20, 2007

Freedom Scientific announced that JAWS version 7.0 screen reader is now compatible with Mozilla’s Firefox. Work on making all the functions of Firefox accessible to users of JAWS 7.0 is still at an early stage but will be ongoing, Freedom Scientific said in a statement.

“The goal is to make all of the features and useful tools available in Internet Explorer available for Firefox as well. You’ll be able to use navigation quick keys, PlaceMarkers, custom labels, lists of HTML elements, and more,” company officials said.
 
Users of JAWS will also be able to access the latest instant messaging products - MSN Messenger and Yahoo! Messenger. These enable users to be notified when friends or colleagues are online, exchange files and messages, and make phone calls using their computers. JAWS 7.0 also stores a user’s settings on the flash memory sticks that plug into PCs, which should give more freedom to users that frequently change computers.
