Re: [orca-list] Firefox Navigation Rerouted to Top of Page?

[Michael Whapples <mwhapples aim com>]

This sounds like the setting of the "Grab focus on object navigation" 
needs adjusting. While in firefox press orca+ctrl+space move to the 
firefox tab and toggle the check box labelled "Grab focus on object 
navigation" and then apply the settings by pressing the apply or OK 
buttons. I will note now, for some reason sometimes toggling it one way 
applying the settings and then toggling it back and applying the 
settings still may give a change in behaviour (logically I think it 
shouldn't but it seems to).

Does this help?

Also if you encounter a similar issue in thunderbird, then this may also 
apply there.
