Re: Orca Firefox 3 better accessible?

[Krister Ekstrom <krister kristersplace ws>]

Hello there,
I find FF3 to be much more accessible than v2. When all the little
quirks are sorted out, i believe this is going to be really nice.:)
However, there's a question that i want to ask:
When i try navigating to a group of radio buttons, it's kinda hard to
work my way through it, because as i navigate, radio buttons get
selected, so it's possible i end up not having the radio button i want
selected, if you see what i mean. Is there a way around this? A typical
situation where this happens is in the Webmin application from
www.webmin.com. Other than that little issue, much is already working
really well for me.
