Would like to know, if you are using Ubuntu?
I also want to configure emacspeak with espeak as the synthesizer.
Can you mail me the details off the list?
And +1 again for your views on firefox.
I won't say its too compelling, but if I i were to minus the bus we have 
then I can call it state of the art accessibility.
But even with the bugs I have same views and feel that its only on rare 
situations that I feel irritated with firefox.
Bring me a more efficient solution for not using firefox with Orca.
