Re: [orca-list] is firefox crashing orca/gnome

[Jon <j orcauser googlemail com>]

Hi Rusty,

If you are talking about the default firefox 2.x then moving onto 
firefox3 should show significant improvements.

About your question for when to file bug reports,
Its generally good to ask on the mailing list if someone can reproduce 
the issue you are having, then once this is varified a bug should be 
entered in the bug tracking system.

I am also a blind person wishing to get away from microsoft products, i 
can successfully "do my work" (im a student), communicate over email in 
ubuntu. The only need that i have for a windows machine is to use the 
internet.
Its really firefox+orca thats the remaining big hurdle for me. Maybe I 
just havent figured out how to "use it properly" but at least i cant 
work efficiently with it, and until then i will be fored to keep a 
windows machine around.

Its very intresting to hear that you got 7.10 installed and working 
(getting some sort of speech) out in the process.

Let us know if you come across something good/bad.
