I hadn't tried going line-by-line, at least it gives me an option until I get the read-all worked out. As far as the firefox orca settings, I forgot about the "grab focus on objects when navigating" issue between firefox5 and firefox6. I doublechecked and it's turned off. If it makes any difference the settings on the firefox tab of the orca prefferances dialog are as follows: "use orca carrot navigation" checked "use orca structural navigation" checked "grab focus on objects when navigating" disabled "position cursor at start of line when navigating vertically" checked "automatically start speaking a page when it is first loaded" disabled >The one thing I did notice however, might have something to do with >live regions.

I tried an experiment. I loaded in the page then turned off the internet. i was thinking if the page remained disconnected, it wouldn't update with new comments and orca could read all the way through without interuption. Unfortunately, the time-stamps still updated themselves while off-line. I don't have much expertise with live regions. Is there a way to disable autorefresh somewhere?
