Re: [orca-list] Which web browser does Orca work well with?

Hi Parham.
Well all that you observed is very much perfect.
The main problem could be not with firefox as such.
Mostly I get the impression that its the interprocess communication 
which is the real culprit.
I think dbus is pritty under developed in terms of performance.
And there are bugs in the firefox's accessibility interfaces to the best 
of my knowledge.
The patched version of ff 3.6 is available in the vinux repositorys.
I don't know why mozila is not serious about these issues.

Happy hacking.
