I made the switch to FF as my default browser years ago, and I wouldn't know why your son says don't. I've never regretted it.
FF does work fine with NVDA, which I use as my full-time screen reader. The developers of NVDA had a grant from Mozilla a while ago to improve compatibility with FF, and in most ways it works fine.

I have firefox as my default browser.----- Original Message ----- From: "Clive Pallett" <clive.pallett@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, February 14, 2012 1:06 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: FirefoxHello Vince and Ian,thanks for your feedback. As I said, I am using NVDA, which, if I'm right,works well with Firefox. I've heard of Webvism which I'm sure I'll finduseful as I cannot see the graphical image and have to rely on the audio, not always understandable, even when wearing headphones. Our son David, who is fully sighted, uses Firefox for those sites which IE has trouble with and headvised me not to have Firefox as my default browser.
