Switching to Firefox from another open application, using Dragon, can be extremely difficult as, normally, the Firefox window defaults to the title of the web page currently loaded.
Not only does this mean that you have to do try and dictate something like:
switch to web-page-with-incredibly-long-name
but, 9 times out of 10, you can’t even see the full name when Firefox has been minimised to the taskbar. So you end up either making wild guesses or trying to navigate labouriously using keyboard shortcuts.

If you’re using Dragon with Firefox, it is likely that you are being driven mad by the persistent “blipping” sound emanating from the Find box every time you mis-dictate a link or phrase.
Believe it or not, this is considered to be a feature of Firefox’s “Find As You Type” accessibility option. If you try to disable Find As You Type, you will suddenly find that Dragon no longer works within Firefox. So for the time being, you’ll just have to learn to ignore the Find box as it pops up and down but you can mute it.

I also decided to try out the Vocabulary Optimiser, but, in my case, this proved a little bit more difficult than first appearances suggested.
