 From home I am on Facebook.  I even took one of those vanity URL's,
   www.facebook.com/lloyd.rasmussen

I use it with Firefox 3.0.11 and Window-Eyes 7.1.  Some "on click" items, 
when activated, throw you out of Browse mode, so you refresh the page with 
ctrl-shift-A to turn Browse back on.  Other links, when activated, use 
JavaScript to expose some more content that was hidden, and you usually use 
insert-backslash to refresh the Browse buffer, then a Find command to 
return to your place or to search for the name of someone.  I haven''t used 
the mobile version, chat or any of the apps.  It's a challenge, but it's 
fun and I learn a lot about people I know or have known.  I have almost 60 
friends after being on the service for about a month.  I can solve most of 
the audio captchas, and they do come up frequently as you add 
friends.  BTW, although cluttered beyond belief in FireFox, a Facebook page 
looks a lot more cluttered with IE 7.
