Re: [orca-list] Firefox 4.0B8pree Problems

[Steve Holmes <steve holmes88 gmail com>]

I never heard any response to my previous message below but I do have
some more observations here.  It seems that if I use tab to move from
link to link, controls are not spoken.  After hitting tab and hearing
silence, I can press the numpad-Enter key and hear what the control is
so it isn't automatically being spoken as one should expect.  Now,
links do get spoken OK.  I attempted to capture this behavior with
accerciser but I either don't know what I'm doing with it or nothing
is showing up over there.  I have a separate thread on that issue
though.
