Re: [orca-list] Moving forward on Firefox



The goal would be to roll patches back to the official version quickly.  I can make the patched version available to Vinux users, so we can get rapid feedback k from testing.

Yes, performance is a big issue.  I'm quite new to the developer side
of Orca as I'm just learning python and using git with more advanced
commands than 'clone'.  But thanks to the option to turn off grab
focus, recently added to Orca, that basic part of FF 3.6 is workable
again.  But another major concern for me has been the inability to
organize bookmarks in 3.6x.  When you arrow around in the bookmarks
organize dialog, focus constantly jumps out to the "More" button.  I
find it nearly impossible to use that feature and furthermore, if you
wish to save a bookmark, you can't pick and choose destination folders
without the same navigation problems in that dialog.  For this reason,
I've been sticking to version 3.5 for now.  I do realize I can't stay
there forever so these things need to be worked out.

I do feel aprehensive about branching off to a stand-alone version of
Firefox however; how easy would it be to get the
improvement/corrections rolled back into the mainline product?  I
don't wanna see us stuck with some "blind version" of the browser.
