Hi, Joanie. I've made some progress on Firefox focus issues. I'm running with Orca Caret Navigation off, and Grab focus off. I think I finally have setCaretOffset close to right. The problem I have now is strange. Moving and focus seem to work correctly, and I can mix tabbing, moving to headers, and arrow keys, and the cursor goes to the right place. When I use left/right arrow keys, I hear the letter to the right of the caret spoken. However, if I hit tab to get to a link, or if I arrow into one, and then use the arrow keys to get out of the link, characters are no longer spoken as I move over them with left/right arrows. I've attached my simple test HTML, and the debug output of Orca. What I did was start orca in a terminal, and then Alt+Tab to get to firefox (which is called minefield in the orca output). The caret was in the middle of "test". I arrowed left two or three times, hearing the letters of "test" spoken backwards. Then I hit Tab, and heard the link announced. Then I pressed left two or three times, but there was no speech while I move over the letters in "test". That's all I recorded in the attached debug log. When I shift to another application with Alt+Tab, and then switch back, characters are once again spoken as I cursor over them with left/right arrows. Thanks, Bill
