I used to be able to do multiple selection using Firefox. I wasn't
aware that it no longer works in Firefox 15. What page did you use to
test this?

I assume you are aware that the method for multiple selection within a
list is different for browsers other than Internet explorer.

The Jaws users you consulted obviously were not familiar with the
Freedom Scientific Surfing the Internet training material.

There is a section that discusses multiple selection lists and how to
use them. Unfortunately this describes The Internet explorer method. I
don't remember that they even mentioned how to do this using Firefox.
Maybe they have updated this since I looked at it. I certainly hope so.
