Re: [orca-list] Automatic reading of live regions

Hi Javier:

If you use the same version of Orca and one version of Firefox works but 
the other version of Firefox doesn't work, my first suspicion would be a 
Firefox regression.

Can you tell me more specifically about the exact versions of Firefox 
you are using?  "firefox --version" should hopefully give you the 
information.  If you want more precise detail, you can use the 
Help->About dialog.  Depending upon which [broken] version of Firefox 
you are using, you might need to do one or both of two things: 1) run 
firefox using "GTK_MODULES= firefox" to clear GTK_MODULES, and 2) 
Alt+Tab away from the About dialog and back to it in order for it to be 
navigable and understood by Orca.
