JAWS announcement of disabled form controls in Firefox

Hi everyone,

I've noted a bizarre behavior and wanted to see if anyone else has come
across it. Disabled form controls are announced as "unavailable" by JAWS in
Internet Explorer but no such disabled status information is provided when
using Firefox. Has anyone else noted this?

I used JAWS 10, Internet Explorer 8 and Firefox 3.6.3.

Thanks!
Sofia
