Re: JAWS cursor doesn't work in Firefox or Chrome

" Obviously if anyone has a solution I'd love to hear it. But I've spent
3 hours this morning searching, tweaking, restarting and failing."

Unfortunately it's been this way with Jaws and Firefox for several versions
of both the browser and the screen reader. It has to do with the graphics
engine Mozilla uses in Firefox I think.


Chrome isn't officially supported by Jaws, so I'm not sure there's any
expectation that the Jaws cursor should work there.

FS is aware of the Firefox problem. Please contact them to let them know
you're finding it a problem though - as with all software and bugs, the more
people that raise the issue the better.
