This should be over come Correct. However, the profile box is not a necessary evil, as it can be circumvented - I do so regularly to avoid Mozilla hanging whilst waiting for input if I open it trough - for instance - xchat or tkrat (IRC and mail client respectively). This is - in my opinion - a very similar situation. I use several virtual monitors, and a browser window always appear on one specific one of them. If, then, I start the browser from a different virtual monitor I cannot see the profile box, and it will theoretically hang there until I check. The problem has alot in common with the oh-so-popular pop-up windows on the web; some of which pop up on parts of my virtual monitor where I am not looking. But enough rambling. The -P workaround does mean that Mozilla is able to work with JAWS, yes ? Is this really an accessibility *problem* ? -- - Tina Holmboe
