Keep in mind, that, unlike Jaws, Orca uses the original screen layout; this 
means that scrolling with pageup/down mustn't have the same results as in 
Jaws.

I've never tested it widely, because I use other navigation schemes, see 
Jason's mail. What I find a bit annoying is, that Control+home and 
Control+end does not always move the caret at the top/bottom of the Page.

Jason told you some alternatives, and I want to add one: Instead of using 
FF's search tool, you might use Orca's search utility. Press Control+f to 
open it. By default it searches as you type. There are buttons to go to the 
next/previous found item. If you've found what you're searching for, press 
escape to leave the dialog; you land on the found item.
