As I've stated earlier, it does not make much sense to try this
extension under Windows, at least from my point of view. Since it is
designed to replace Orca's navigation structure (perhaps some day), it
should be mainly tested in Linux and FF3. If you develope this in
Windows, I guess you also use Windows screen readers, and for obvious
reasons all the web stuff reacts very fast. Do you have the opportunity
to test your extension in Linux with Orca?

See above.
