Re: [orca-list] If you use Orca master, what version of Firefox do you use?

[Alejandro Leiva <aleiva emergya es>]

Hi all,

	About this topic we have decided to implement a new loader for scripts 
which will support different applications/major versions. (i.e. FF/3 and 
FF/4)

	Firefox isn't the only one that makes significant changes between 
versions. So we decided that making this change to Orca's script support 
was needed.

        I hope that this approach make users happier :-)

Cheers (and happy new year!),
