Well, I just got through plowing through the sixty some comments
related to that bug and my head is throbbing a bit from all that
<smile>.  I would have to say that my yelp problem relates to the
possible firefox/jecko issues.  But firefox works  fine here and
always has.  Do I need to update atk and at-spi and gail? Lately, I
just updated orca but left the others for a while. since I let
Debian's packageer do the work:).

I can go out and rebuild gail/atk/at-spi and report back.  I just got
a bit confused by the bug's comments as to whether or not other
changes have to be made to help also or what.  That's where I got
lost.  Plus it sounds like the overall issue is still wide open.
