JAWS does not vocalize superscripts in FF but it does in IE - this is important for my math courses

I'm working on a calculus course and JAWS is not vocalizing superscripts when viewed with FF when it works correctly with IE. I can't figure out why this would be so. Is there some setting in FF or a UA overrride that can be applied? Superscripts are rather important in math and the difference between "x two" and "x superscript two" can make or break how you answer a question.

For software compatibility with various Browsers you need to contact JAWS support on this issue.

Hi mvanrhee,

Unfortunately your system details don't show which Firefox version your using, but would you please take a look at this article :
