Hi Steve
Wow this is getting weird. I run it on several systems too, and it works
on all of them. All the systems run Ubuntu, but that can't be the reason
since other Ubuntu users are having trouble. It's not an orca firefox
preference either, I deleted my prefs file to check that. And, you
guessed it, I can't get it to misbehave. It doesn't seem related to any
add-ons either, and I have a lot of those so it was an angle worth
checking out on my end. I don't have any windows machines so can't
comment on the issue from that side of the fence. I'll keep prodding it
and see if I can't make Firefox misbehave. Maybe if I can force it to
happen it'll help, so far though it doesn't want to act up.
