[orca-list] Firefox, back and cursor position

[Nolan Darilek <nolan thewordnerd info>]

Were I using Firefox without Orca, if I used alt-left to go to the 
previous page, would my cursor position on the previous page be 
maintained? (I.e. would I appear on the link I clicked to go forward?)

I ask because, IIRC, this behavior exists under windows and is 
incredibly convenient in situations where, for instance, I'm browsing a 
forum and want to quickly move to the next message. There, I'd just go 
back and tab once or twice. Under FF/Orca I need to find my previous 
position then tab past.

I think that's the best behavior, I just don't know where to file the 
issue. Is this a FF behavior that Orca is interfering with? Or is Orca 
just doing what FF does and should I file the issue with Mozilla?

I've also noticed that Orca loses position if I change between windows. 
So if the screensaver appears and stops speech, my position in a long 
webpage is lost. I'm also experiencing some speech-dispatcher crashes 
that require me to switch to a terminal to run a shell script I've 
written to kill and relaunch the process, and sometimes popping up a new 
terminal window and switching back also causes me to  return to the top 
of the page.

So were I to guess, I'd suspect that Orca is losing its place somehow, 
but I can't verify this without quitting Orca, which I can't do and 
continue to meaningfully use my computer. :)

Thanks.
