Re: [orca-list] Can someone look into this possible bug for me?

Hey Bill.

I'd have to double-check, but this sounds like yet another instance of
the Gecko dead accessible bug *huge sigh*. There are so many places that
we'd need to add checks in Orca (which would slow down performance and
not make those pages navigable; just not hang-causing). So I keep hoping
that the Mozilla guys will fix their bug. For a couple of years now on
this one.

Since you asked for bugs to work on, please work on that one. It's the
same one I mentioned to you off-list yesterday:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=420993

Thanks.
