Re: [orca-list] Firefox 4.0 Beta and Status Bar

[David Bolter <david bolter gmail com>]

Hi Steve,

The status bar has been removed in FF 4.0 betas. The URL for the 
currently highlighted link now appears as grayed out text on the right 
side of the location bar. I'm curious if this is currently exposed in 
Orca? I suspect this needs work on the Firefox side.

Cheers,
David
