Hi Jamal,
I haven't had the time to sit down and try this myself, but I wish for 
Homer-like functionality. My favorite feature is the ability to press F8 and 
Shift F8 to select and copy text. I rarely use other Homer features in my 
browser now.

Subject: [jawsscripts] Seeking input on JAWS scripts for Firefox

JAWS includes scripts for Firefox, which work fairly well.  My interest
is in smoothing rough edges and adding usability enhancements (e.g.,
analagous to Firefox extensions, but via scripting).  My scripts would
inherit and add to the functionality of the FS scripts, rather than
replace them.

If anyone has already done some scripting of Firefox and is willing to
share code, let me know.  If anyone can explain rough edges with the
existing FS scripts, Please give me step by step instructions for
reproducing problems.  If anyone has a wish list for enhancing the
functionality of Firefox, please chime in.

Thanks,
Jamal
