This is one of life's challenges. First of all, it has been suggested that 
one should upgrade to Gnome 2.16. This is done from experimental. I tried 
that but without success. This might be due to the fact that I've only 2.2 
GB free space on my hard disk at the moment. I'm working on that. Then 
I'll give it another go.

FF 3, or Minefield, as it calls itself, sort of works - at least for a 
while. Then I get a message saying: "I've detected a panel already 
running, and will now exit." It offers an OK to click. Even if I do that, 
it doesn't disappear.

It's also a bit difficult to start. When I start it from alt-f2 
/usr/local/lib/firefox/./firefox my braille display hangs or, seems to 
hang. If I exit Orca and reload it, that's when it works as described 
above. I should mention that I've purged everything else to do with 
Firefox.

(version 2). I'm optimistic with regard to the long-term prognosis. My 
next step is to get Gnome 2.16 on my computer.
