Re: [orca-list] 2 Orca issues

["Nolan Darilek" <nolan thewordnerd info>]

Oh, is navigating back in FF supposed to place me on the link from which 
I moved forward? I don't think I've *ever* seen that behavior once in my 
nearly 1.5 years of full-time Orca use, and it can't be web apps doing 
things with focus in my instance because I have noscript running, so no 
javascript unless allowed.

When encountering issues like this, it's tough to know which are FF and 
which are Orca. I would have assumed, for instance, that this is a FF 
issue, especially since when I brought it up last time I was pointed to 
a Mozilla bug. But, in any case, it'd be great to have it fixed, and 
it's pretty easy to reproduce since it always happens. :)
