With regard to re-configuring the 'find as you type' function in Firefox, I've used the method outlined in the <a href="http://www.blackwidows.org.uk/wpress/?p=38">Stop Firefox Blipping</a> entry. Thanks – I’ll have a go at re-installing it.

Mouseless browsing is probably the single most frustrating experience I've had using Dragon. To a large extent, I've reverted to using a mouse when I can. On bad days, I'll use a keyboard and try to limit usage to single keypresses. I have found the Windows Sticky Keys accessibility feature to be invaluable as it means I don't have to press more than one key as a time and, these days, tend to have it switched on all of the time. Ultimately, though, in common with other Dragon users that I know, if my hands are bad, I just don't browse the web very much - if at all. It's just not worth the effort or stress.
