Re: [orca-list] Links List - firefox extension

["Krishnakant Mane" <hackingkk gmail com>]

hi rich,
wonderful start.
I will be testing it today just wanted to get one point cleared, is it
just going to display links in a list or will it also help me activate
a link by hitting enter?
by the way if there was an error in that extention it can be fix, but
I am very happy that the extention approach has been choosen which
will be more appropriate rather than sticking all this load in orca.
this is the perfect approach.
keep going.
Krishnakant.
