I have just tested this with JAWS 13 and Windows 7. It works ok in Internet
Explorer 9 but I have to say that in 8 years of user testing I have never
encountered a single JAWS user who knew how to make multiple selections from
a listbox, and I have worked with some extremely proficient users.

It is not possible to make multiple selections using Firefox 15 so I don't
think this is a viable solution except for internal systems where you can
enforce the use of Internet Explorer.
